Architects crowdfund to build £1.85 billion Minas Tirith in UK
A group of architects are crowdfunding in the hope of raising almost £2 billion in order to build a lifesize replica of Lord of the Rings city Minas Tirith in the south of England, reports the Daily Telegraph.
If they manage to raise the sum within the 60 day limit, Tolkien fans will then have the chance to live or work in the creation, whose original version was laid siege to by the full forces of Mordor in The Return of the King.
The campaign’s leader, Jonathan Wilson, has estimated building costs of £15 million for land, £188 million for labour and £1.4 billion for materials. Any money left over after the project is finished after 2023 will be used for “maintenance and public services” until 2053.
