==Overview==
[[The ArchiTECHS]] was a one-episode television show on The History Channel - one of two pilots for a proposed series in which a team of innovators struggle to come up with unique design solutions under a suspenseful time limit.

The show featured "five geniuses", including author-scientist [[David Brin]], TV legend and designer Dave Stollery, visionary artist Tim Flattery and others "in a 48-hour quest to design better ways to escape and fight skyscraper fires."

Promotions for the show had this to say: "Five geniuses are challenged: innovate fire rescue and evacuation tools for skyscraper disasters... ''and do it in 48 hours!'' Watch a small team of designers and visionaries form a high-tech think tank, racing the clock to shape bold, over-the-horizon designs for the future. With unprecedented cooperation from [[New York, NY|New York]]'s regional fire departments, episode #1 culminates in a dramatic presentation to Former FDNY Commissioner Thomas Von Essen, one of the heroes of [[issuepedia:9/11|9/11]]..."

Another Pilot Episode was filmed half a year earlier, at the U.S. Army National Training Center at Ft. Irwin, California, where a somewhet different and larger team of "geniuses" were charged (by 4 star General Paul Kern) with the task for "designing the next humvee."
Result? A super badass concept vehicle. It is unclear, as of January 2007, whether there are any plans to show that episode or offer it on DVD.

CAST MEMBERS OF THE FIREFIGHTING EPISODE:
David Brin, Tim Flattery, David Stollery, Jim Tucci, Andrew Thompson

CAST OF THE (never shown) HUMVEE EPISODE:
