Sommario/riassunto

Combining typography and architecture

Schrift am Bau und im öffentlichen Raum prägt unser Umfeld. Den Kern des Buches bilden aktuelle Archigrafien, die exemplarisch für Strategien stehen, wie Architektur durch grafische Elemente angereichert werden kann. Die konstruktiven, materiellen oder visuellen Methoden werden so für eigene Entwürfe nutzbar. Eine Sammlung von Beschriftungstechniken und Hinweise zum Projektmanagement machen das Buch zu einem Werkzeug für Architekten und Grafiker.

Sommario/riassunto

Recent studies have increasingly demonstrated the widespread existence of spatio-temporal variations in the abundance and distribution of species of freshwater fishes, previously assumed not to move between habitats. These movements are often on a seasonal or ontogenetic basis, for spawning, feeding and refuge, and in many cases are fundamental for the successful completion of lifecycles. This important book provides a single source for a range of previously widely dispersed information on these movements of fish in fresh waters, covering potamodromous fishes as well as the more familiar dia
