Architect Danny Forster travels around the world to "deconstruct" such ultimate construction projects as warships, public works structures, cruise liners and extreme thrill rides. Forster takes viewers inside the head-scratching builds, interviewing on-site architects and engineers to provide a fresh perspective on complex construction techniques and unique architectural challenges. He also tries his hand at some of the jobs at each site and samples the latest computer graphics to gain a greater understanding of the scope and scale of each project.
