Marshall Berman is one of the foremost writers on the urban experience and what it means to be modern, and he will discuss his work in depth during this Southbank Centre lecture. Berman first rose to prominence with All That Is Solid Melts Into Air: The Experience of Modernity, an enduringly influential account of the impact of
modernization on art, literature and architecture. Over the last quarter of a century, his powerful descriptions of modern life have grown ever more relevant to the anxious, accelerated times in which we live.
