Well, you don't have to be a genius to have figured this one out yet.
But the similarities really hit me when I saw the picture, puts things in perspective, doesn't it?

The design team could have based the city on a snowflake though....

FYI, they did. It's in one of the extra's on the season 1 DVD I think (region 2).

If they are big fans of snow why would they live on a tropical planet. Maybe they liked the design of the snowflake or thought it would be a good way to build a citywith wings around a middle center.

LOL wow i dont think they are that old. Maybe it is suppose to be snow cause antarctica the main continent was at the south pole the time they left.Meaning it was covered in snow.

If I'm not mistaken there is one about designing the city of Atlantis and they mention the snowflake-thing.

That's just so wrong. It doesn't take a ZPM to lift a snowflake. Even a giant one!
