Architects In Britain Are Trying To Build A Full Scale Minas Tirith From Lord Of The Rings (5 pics)

218 billion for materials? something is not right

Its such a bad design for a city though. And the costs probably dont include the infastructure, public transport, shops, places to work (cant just turn it into hotel city), and that gigantic cliff which alone would consume all the money they 'have'.

google matera italy....then google....matera italy cave hotels (this is the work of business man who refurbished some the houses and converted them to hotels)....you can probably buy the whole city for 5% of what they're looking for....some of the houses are been offered for free!....because its turning into ghost city with aging population.....all it needs is young people to populate it and rest of the world will come...it looks better then this rubbish they working on...its already built just needs refurbishment/high speed internet to stay in touch with rest of the world....
