A systematic review and conceptual framework of biophilic design parameters in clinical environments
Authors per journal record. Healthcare / built environment literature
Different user groups appeared to value different biophilic parameters, including daylight, views, natural content, refuge and environmental comfort.

Evidence for prospect-refuge theory: a meta-analysis of the findings of environmental preference research
Authors per journal record. City, Territory and Architecture
Prospect received more consistent support than refuge in interior and urban studies; evidence for complexity was mixed but often positive; mystery was less consistently supported.

Grid cell symmetry is shaped by environmental geometry
Krupic et al. Nature
Grid-cell firing patterns were distorted by environmental geometry, showing that spatial coding is shaped by enclosure boundaries rather than being perfectly metric.
ND-0066 · 2006 · Foundational theory/review
The boundary vector cell model of place cell firing and spatial memory
Barry et al. Reviews in the Neurosciences
Proposes that boundaries at specific distances and directions contribute to place-cell firing and spatial memory.

A Comparison of Psychological and Work Outcomes in Open-Plan and Cellular Office Designs: A Systematic Review
James, Delfabbro & King. SAGE Open
Open-plan offices were more often associated with poorer health, satisfaction and productivity-related outcomes, with noise and privacy recurring as major issues.

Workspace satisfaction: The privacy-communication trade-off in open-plan offices
Kim & de Dear. Journal of Environmental Psychology
Noise and loss of privacy were major sources of dissatisfaction, and perceived communication benefits did not offset them in more open layouts.
