Biography

Lasse Bech Knudsen is a PhD Scholar and Research Fellow at Aarhus University, where he engages in multidisciplinary research focusing on developing future-proof solutions to large-scale 21st-century challenges. His work involves studying plans and visions for floating cities, emphasizing the importance of water technology in addressing socio-environmental relations. Using ethnographic fieldwork and historical material, he collaborates with primarily Dutch hydro-tech developers to devise floating technology as a pragmatic method to address global stressors such as sea level rise, urban population growth, and land scarcity. Knudsen's expertise lies at the intersection of anthropology and technology, particularly within infrastructure and future scenarios for water climate adaptation. He has been actively involved in organizing and participating in workshops, seminars, and conferences related to his research interests, leading discussions on the socio-political implications of floating city developments.
