Starting with the background concept of window and window view design,this study uses the women's windows of the ancient town of Tongli in Suzhou,China,and the Hawa Mahal in Jaipur,India,as examples to conduct comparative research. The article adopts the method of design rationale to study the form of window and window view design and applies it to the corresponding architectural,spatial,and social-historical environments to compare external and internal factors.
