DANNY FORSTER

Danny Forster loves to tell stories. As the host and producer of Discovery and SCIENCE Channel's long running series Build It Bigger and as the director and executive producer (along with Steven Spielberg) of the landmark 6 hour documentary Rising: Rebuilding Ground Zero, Danny has demonstrated a genius for finding both the key detail that grounds a story and the grand theme that ennobles it.

Danny's education in the fine arts reveals itself in his eye for visuals; his years as a professor inform his ability to clarify and distill complex ideas for a broad audience; his passion for pop culture emerges in his infectious energy and enthusiasm; and his experience designing award-winning buildings has taught him how to be flexible and collaborative with colleagues and clients, while inspiring them to achieve great things.

Danny is currently working on Building Connections, a documentary series for Discovery Networks International that investigates the cultural demands driving both new and ancient architecture; a design competition show featuring world-renowned architects as judges; and the final installments of Rising. He's teaching a graduate course in architecture at Syracuse University. And his design practice, DANNY FORSTER Design Studio, is tackling residential projects in TriBeCa, a sustainable straw bale house in Indiana, and a hotel tower south of Ground Zero.
