On reconnaît parfois la dentelle mécanique par sa texture plus rigide. Sa composition est distinctement régulière et les nœuds sont rares. Finalement, elle est plus économique mais considérée comme moins durable par les dentellières. Toutefois, certaines dentelles mécaniques de soie ou de coton sont raffinées, esthétiques et très jolies. Certaines techniques comme la dentelle torchon sont facilement imitées par la machine. Mais il est aisément facile de reconnaître une dentelle mécanique, car le chemin des fils est souvent impossible à suivre. La dentelle est imitée pour ses motifs, et non pour ses points. Un motif de point de toile sera perçu et interprété par la machine comme un «espace à remplir plus opaque que le fond». 1, record 1, French, - dentelle%20m%C3%A9canique

Man-made landscape is always an expression of society, culture, and local geography, and is traditionally the basic area of concern for the landscape architect. The cultural landscape may also be the larger, regional landscape in which a society traditionally finds its home, develops its myths, and imagines its future. 5, record 3, English, - man%2Dmade%20landscape

Combinations of the three main plant types--trees, shrubs, and groundcovers--are found everywhere in nature, but the lack of any one of them from the scene, especially in "hand-made" landscapes, can create a genuine sense of omission. This reaction suggests keeping the plant trio together in some form or other. 3, record 3, English, - man%2Dmade%20landscape
