There is two kind of comfort. Psichologic and Phisiologic. If Phisiologic
questions are most studied and easily available to an architect as it
concerns mostly climatic problems and are quite the same for all humans in
a comunity, on the other hand psichologic problems are more dificult to
understand as these questions and needs are not uniform and equal to
everyone.

The architect when he projects the space is mostly concerned about the
quality of that space but the question is how to make sure that everyone
feels psichologic comfortable in that space.

In a building the architect will probably make some wonderful relations
between spaces but does people feel comfortable about those relations?
