[David Arkin, AIA]

Sounds more like 'McMilligan's Island', starring the original Straw Dawgs (Greg McMillan and Turko Semmes)?!

A typhoon sweeps in, the barge breaks loose, and after a week at sea, it runs aground on the shores of Borneo. So the architect has to survive by his wits AND complete the high rise using vines and bark and animal skins….

The dream is a male talent in their 30's, 40's or early 50's. A Les Stroud architect of sorts... Being an expert in this world, I was wondering if you might be able to point me in the right direction on this. Is there anyone who comes to mind for this, or that you could recommend?
