    The document outlines three archetypes of cultural landscapes: romantic landscapes are rugged with a strong interaction between humans and nature; cosmic landscapes have an unstructured earth where the sky, not land, is the main feature; and classical landscapes have a meaningful order of distinct elements at a human scale where humans and nature are equal partners. It also notes that some landscapes are a mixture of these archetypes, providing Beirut, Lebanon as an example of a complex landscape.
