	There are different typologies of inhabitants, different perception over the landscape and different usage of the spaces next to the buildings people live/work in. The general planning of the city respect the right to an open landscape for the inhabitants. Moreover, the image of the city is well maintained and developed within the city. A different situation appears instead in the expansion areas where from the urgent need for new housing facilities impose a fast building process losing the attention over the landscape as a context and also as a perception for future inhabitants. The income is the majoritary condition for having a qualitative* windowscape. Thus having a big garden or a big terrace with a nice panorama depends of the possibility of buying a house or paying the rent.

	The number of students increases year by year. Recently the real estate companies have ~~been put~~ in the situation of accommodating a big number of students, therefore new housing facilities started to be fast developed. A particular example is Haarveg 333 (figure 1), the containers, where though it is one of the expensive student facilities, there is no landscape context and no common space for the inhabitants, not even a corridor. On the opposite corner, one of cheapest housing facilities for students, there are the 20 floors height blocks, where students benefit of both common space for inhabitants and also a view (figure 2).

	The windowscape refers to the context of “home” but also how the landscape is seen and perceived from the inside. The windowscape is presented through two classifications: appearance and function.

	The communication concept is based on the relation between the planners and the inhabitants. If in the process of developing new living areas there are certain expectations for the image of the product, the windowscape as a view do dot benefit of similar attention in design, especially in the context of quick expansion or densification. Therefore the initiative should pursuit the achievement of comfort and familiarity for the inhabitants through “Do it yourself” type of actions. The initiative and participation of inhabitants should draw the attention over their needs for usable and beautiful landscape. The common or individual participation aim to build the wanted landscape and even though the appearance may not fulfill design concepts it will have a certain meaning for the inhabitants being build by themselves.

	The concept of building windowscape refers to the process of “home” building through significance, memory and care for the landscape. The interventions should be approved by administration and future development should include windowscape development including the involvement of the future inhabitants. The communication can be made through public debates regarding the common will of the inhabitants, preferably together with a landscape architect. The interventions should respect the will of the persons that will be affected in any way by the landscape modifications in their windowscape. Main attraction points will be common areas for different activities and landscape designs changeable each season.

The interventions should respect the will of the persons that will be affected in any way by the landscape modifications in their windowscape. Main attraction points will be common areas for different activities and landscape designs changeable each season. The rapport of communication form specialists to the users of the space should include well determined regulations in design considering the perception of the windowscape over their everyday life. The communication is relied on regulations in design, possibility of in involvement for the users, and strategies of future involvement. The regulations in design refer to the development of science and research. Therefore the literature and consumer research are important before the development in order to develop a “home” that could satisfy the “feelings of security, stimulation and self-direction” (Kathrin Hering, 2006).

	''The most often appreciated painting is the painting we see everyday in the frame of our window. Forever changing in colors and characters, the windowscape may differ in preference, in perception and in importance for the owner. Though the view on the window directly influences the economic income in real estate development, the preference for window landscape is sometimes limited by architectural objects, living facilities and urban development landscapes without considering the importance of the windowscape.

	The interpretation of the landscape that we see everyday is constantly influenced by the way we perceive the outdoor elements that build everyday experience. For instance a massive architectural front dominating the horizon gives enclosure and limitation to the perceiver, feeling translated very clear in the sketches. However, the dominance of the nature seems to be more important in human size appreciation, while from the tower living blocks, the flat land of The Netherlands seems to smash to the ground the nature together with the architecture. Particularly in Wageningen, the layer approach to the landscape is easily understood in everyday living experience. The coherence and legibility of the landscape makes it easy to be decoded by ordinary people. The coherence and legibility of the landscape makes it easy to be decoded by ordinary people. The layers of circulation, water and vegetation are coherent, with a strong accent on functionality of the spaces. The most important element is familiarity and attachment for certain views, for example large openings, or dense vegetation. Also preferences of interviewed people include the presence of light and sun as important in describing their everyday landscape. Environmental and physic elements have their own influence in building the ‘home’ space outside the window.
