Does anyone know if this was intentional?

I had to go to the Air Force Academy for something this week and was again struck by the similarity of the Battlestar Galactica TV shows "Cylon Resurrection Ship" to the Air Force Academy's Chapel.


Air Force Academy Chapel







vs

Cylon Resurrection Ship



(actual model)


Part of me says the likeness is too close to be a coincidence, the other part of me warns against making assumptions. So, anyone know?

No idea but they are both basically a bunch of triangles stacked together. Not exactly a complex design though an uncommon one.

I went to the Airforce academy's chapel in mid-April and thought the very same thing! Very cool piece of architecture, nonetheless!

What better place to resurrect than a temple?

I believe it has been ascertained, in a thread on AH, that the Air Force copied this off of the Cylons. :stirthepot:
