    Refuge is the idea that if people or animals or living beings are protected at the back and slightly overhead, they will feel more protected. It is the reason why animals have their deans in caves. The next principle is prospect which is access to views. Back in the day, humans were drawn to prospect because they could see predators coming. It provides a sense of safety. If you combine refuge (protection around and above you) and prospect (with views) you get a space that is very comforting to people". -Becca Dobosh

Listenined to 3 episodes so far

The series so far ( I have listened to 3 episodes only) are more of general chat and observational point of view. Real in depth knowledge of subjects are not shared even though interviews are held with experienced senior interior designers. fearing of sharing secrets of the trade actually is against the sharing and development of knowledge and industry. Discussions are based on personal experiences
that do not engage the intellectual intelligence of solving spatial design issues,much scientific research and evidence can be included to enrich and develop these series
