<p><strong>About Danny Forster:</strong></p><h3><strong>Danny’s Profile: </strong><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/danny-forster-4544b23"><strong>linkedin.com/in/danny-forster-4544b23</strong></a></h3><h3><strong>Email: </strong><a href="mailto:danny@dannyforster.com" target="_blank"><strong>danny@dannyforster.com</strong></a></h3><h3><strong>Twitter: </strong><a href="https://twitter.com/dannyforster" target="_blank"><strong>dannyforster</strong></a></h3><p><strong>Website: https://www.dannyforster.com </strong></p><p><strong>Bio:</strong></p><p>Architect. TV host. Producer. Director. Speaker. Professor. Danny Forster is all these things, and through them all he has become a global advocate for architecture. The field of architecture may not appear to need much help: buildings surround us. But that very ubiquity has made it almost invisible; we move in and around buildings but barely notice them. Through his persistent and passionate advocacy, Danny gets people to notice, understand, and value the built environment.</p><p>This quest began when Danny was hired, while still pursuing his master’s in architecture at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design, to host a television show about impressive feats of construction and engineering. The show would become <i>Build It Bigger</i>, one of Discovery Channel’s most popular series, and run for nine seasons, during which Danny traveled to more than fifty countries, exploring everything from record-breaking skyscrapers to cutting-edge sports stadiums, from airports to tunnels to impossibly long bridges. Besides offering a matchless education for an aspiring architect, <i>Build It Bigger</i> taught Danny how to talk about architecture so an audience wouldn’t just understand how and why a building was designed a certain way, it would care. The key was inviting them inside the process–not just saying what’s important, but showing them in concrete and engaging ways.</p><p>For inquiries regarding film and television work, please contact Danny’s agent at <a href="http://wmeent
