Louisa Hutton and Matthias Sauerbruch, of Berlin-based practice Sauerbruch Hutton, have recently published Archive 2 – a second series of monographic volumes dedicated to the work of their practice between 2006 and 2015. In the nine years between two sets of books, the architects have observed that “the expansion of the digital realm has had a profound effect on the way we perceive, discuss and produce architecture.” As such, and on the occasion of their second volume, they are inviting people to share their thoughts “on the convergence of architecture in concrete, pixel and print.”

Sauerbruch Hutton are challenging readers with three provocations, to which a number of people have responded.

  • How does the digital dissemination of something as physical as architecture affect your thinking ?
  • The inherent slowness of building and the speed of the internet – how could these be reconcilable ?
  • Is the architectural monograph a concept of the past ?

You can find out more about Sauerbruch Hutton’s monograph, here.

Tim Farron says Lib Dems would be willing to raise taxes to find ‘a lot more money’ for NHS – Politics live

Rolling coverage of the day’s political developments as they happen, including Tim Farron’s speech on the final day of the Lib Dem conference

9.11am BST

The Liberal Democrats are today heading into the fourth and final day of their autumn conference but, with only eight MPs, very little leverage over power at Westminster or anywhere else and Labour’s civil war hogging the headlines, they have struggled to leave much of a footprint on the national news.

Today, though, they have a chance to make some headlines. The leader’s speech is generally the most important showpiece event at any party conference and Tim Farron is closing the conference this afternoon.

And let’s stop being complacent about our NHS. We have of course a brilliant NHS, the best staff in the world, free care at the point of access…but we are spending at least far less every year than we need to make sure that we have a health and care service that really will provide for you and your family from cradle to grave.

So we need to face the hard truth that the NHS needs more money – a lot more money – not just to stop it lurching from crisis to crisis but so that it can meet the needs and the challenges it will face in the years ahead. So that it can be the service we all need it to be for the long-term. To provide confidence in our health service for the next fifty years.
