Stargate Atlantis: Download The City Blueprints

This is the latest poster in my Stargate Blueprint series: the Stargate Atlantis poster. It features the great city of Atlantis, along with call-outs for some key locations.

I’ve always wanted to own actual Stargate blueprints — especially for all the 3D design work I do on Stargate props. Sadly, MGM has never produced any official blueprints for fans. So I decided to make my own.

I spent a lot of time studying all the resources I could find, so hopefully the Atlantis city blueprints are as accurate as possible. In a few instances I added some detail I thought would enhance the poster. The poster took about 70 hours to produce — but it’s a labor of love. That might sound like a lot of time, but it is much, much faster than designing the 3D-printed props!

I hope this inspires other fans to produce their own fan-made content. Hopefully, MGM will produce some new canon Stargate. Stargate merchandise would be cool too, MGM!

If anyone has actual Stargate blueprints and would like to share, please feel free to reach out to me. Until then, please enjoy my free blueprint of Atlantis.

A big thanks to GateWorld for hosting the blueprints, meaning you get to download it for free!

  • It is very nice and cool! Thanks a lot for this..

    But it is also incorrect. Example The chair in Atlantis does not have its own ZPM (although power relays or connectors are available, which they used for a naquada generator) and the Docking Wharf between the South-West and South Pier is not illustrated on all schematics.

    • "In a few instances I added some detail I thought would enhance the poster"
      It helps if you read things fully, this is one of the first things the creator said in the article...

    • You are right... and also wrong. Atlantis sadly had two very different models across the seasons. You are describing the older (afaik), most notably used for the Asuran cityship and the relocation of Atlantis after it was attacked by the asuran beam.
      But this offered bluepring details the model used most notably for the fight of Atlantis with the super Hive and then entry into the Earth atmosphere in the final episode.

      • I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. watch Episode 1 where Atlantis takes fllight, and you'll see the city always had a hole in the middle, and numerous times you could see the actual side view of the city. It has nothing to do with the Asurans.

        Here, another proof only for you: https://i1.wp.com/www.gateworld.net/gallery/albums/atl_season1/120-TheSiegePart2/screencaps/atl_120_0091.JPG
        You can clearly see the middle part which is empty. So maybe stop defending a sloppy work and do proper research. Or feel free to post at least a single proof of your claims.

          • If he can get it right I would be more than happy to see it.

            Azrael is right though. The whole reason I looked for blueprints of the Stargate City of Atlantis is because I want to build a life sized replica and I want it to be as accurate as possible not some random stuff thrown together by someone who didn't aim for accurate representation.

            That is not to say it doesn't look good or to insult the amazing job he did from pearly a fan art perspective but even true fans should be concerned about accuracy.

            you would be surprised how many times I see some die hard fans arguing about what hue of color something is because it wasn't accurate and how many times people point out it wasn't accurate when it comes to some cosplay representation.

            that being said as a piece of fan art and certainly not nearly as ACCURATE representation as it could have been It is quite nice and looks great for just a piece of fan art but not reliable when looking to actually build it. or when looking for honest accurate representation.

          • You're right that this is fan art, done in the style of blueprints. No need to insult the artist's choices just because he didn't create the specific thing you are looking for.

            Anything with accurate detail would probably have to be released in some capacity by MGM. I don't know that enough was shown on screen for accurate measurements, building locations and heights, etc. to be recreated by an observant viewer ... at least not without a whole lot of estimation and extrapolation.

  • Wow, that's is so cool! You should really feel proud of that accomplishment! :) and yeah, the critics might be right, it's not 100% accurate, but maybe you could also add the illustrator/photoshop file so people can contribute instead complain? Just an idea... ;) keep up the great work!

  • Any chance of getting this with layers? I'd love to be able to disable all the Generators and notes on the map just to use the architecture.

  • There really aren't any definitive blueprints for a lot of things, including the city for a number of reasons. 1) They changed throughout the series and the 3D model was often tweaked. 2) The 3D models and the sets never match up. Things were frequently cheated spatially for individual script or shooting requirements.

  • Wow - this is great! Thank you!

    You mention that this is merely the latest in the series of blueprints?
    Is there a link to the series or to your other works?

    • That kind of depends on whether people would like them or not. There is limited reference material around so sometimes I have to improvise. I'm always happy to hear about corrections. I'd encourage others to contribute too...lets make it an across the globe thing :)

  • To all the nit-pickers...smh. To the creators of these blueprint images,,, THANK YOU !
