Another <i>Pilot Episode</i> 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.

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 a better way 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's regional fire departments, episode #1 culminates in a dramatic presentation to Former FDNY Commissioner Thomas Von Essen, one of the heroes of 9/11..."
