EDIT: With the tube strike called off (but the rail strike going ahead) this social will take place, though our numbers may be subdued.

Matthew Howard is now sadly not able to deliver his era-defining analysis of the German capital. Instead Luca will talk to us about "Life and Complexity in Architecture". Many thanks to Luca for jumping in a the last minute.

Matthew Howard will talk which he tells me will be entitled Berlin—It Will Blow Your Breath Away. Make of that what you will (though the reference to Berlin is a running gag connected with the monthly online NSC pub quizzes…)

NB: As it now seems there will be both a rail strike and a tube strike on this day, we may need to postpone. Watch this space.

We’ll try to livestream the talk as usual. The link to do this is https://youtube.com/live/DucQzj_2_qg. Before you ask, Matthew is not keen to do it as a purely virtual talk from home, so if the strikes happen we’ll just reschedule for later.
