Prospect and Refuge at Five Biophilic Sites in Singapore

The study examined perceived attention restorativeness of built environments incorporating biophilic design components such as prospect and refuge, explored the role of participants’ perceptions of danger, preference for, and familiarity with the built environments on perceived attention restorativeness, and evaluated whether the varying levels of prospect and refuge would have an effect on the perception of danger. 535 site visitors (age range 18-65 years, 50.7% male) were recruited from five different built environments (5 x n = 107) incorporating biophilic components and completed an online survey during their site visit.
