Overview

The ArchiTECHS was a one-episode television show on The History Channel. Information is scarce at this point, but it appears that the channel may have been considering producing a series under the same name.

The show featured "five geniuses", including author David Brin, "in a 48-hour quest to design a better way to escape and fight skyscraper fires."

Promotional literature 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..."
