Architecture and Human Comfort

Abstract

Architecture and human comfort are closely interconnected, as the built environment directly influences physical, psychological, and emotional well-being. Human comfort in architecture involves creating spaces that provide appropriate thermal conditions, adequate lighting, proper ventilation, acoustic balance, and ergonomic design. This paper explores the relationship between architectural design and human comfort, emphasizing how environmental factors and design strategies contribute to enhancing occupant experience. It highlights key aspects such as indoor environmental quality, spatial planning, and user-centered design. The study also examines the role of sustainable and climate-responsive architecture in improving comfort while reducing energy consumption.
