Filmmakers who have adapted J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth for the big screen have skillfully crafted or adapted architectural elements based on Tolkien’s descriptions to reflect the diverse cultures and societies of the various peoples inhabiting this rich fictional world. These artistic choices help viewers to engage more deeply with the unique characteristics of each race, whether it be the grandeur of the Elven realms or the rustic charm of Hobbiton. To fully appreciate this aspect of the films and literature, take a closer look at 15 significant buildings and structures that appear throughout the cinematic adaptations, as well as those mentioned in Tolkien’s original texts. Each structure offers insights into the lifestyle, values, and history of the characters that reside within them.

The Two Towers: "We're the tallest things ever made!"
The Two Lamps: "Hold my beer…"
Megastructures in fantasy media have always been fascinating to me, and Tolkien’s universe, as it did with the entire fantasy genre, inspired this concept for the most part. It also has some of the most imposing examples.

The chimneys of angband are just me building my home at bedrock in minecraft
Durin's Stair laughs at all of these.
Utumno is pretty hard to estimate. It was like Angband on steroids, that even the host of the Valar couldn't explore all of its bowels.
The tallest is Taniquetil. It is above the clouds
Only your serious Tolkien Geeks and Silmarillion and other source aficionados know that Dol Guldur was built upon an abandoned Elven capital known as Amon Lanc [original seat of Silvan Elves under Oropher, father of Thranduil], IIRC because of the return of Sauron to MIddle Earth after the downfall of Numenor. So it is likely Sauron had something already extant there to use to start his fortress.
Temple of Morgoth reminds me of the Volkshalle
How do you end up with a few kilometers for the Tower of Avallónë?? There is virtually nothing to support that, and if you're going from the curvature of the Earth, there was no curvature back then since the world was flat.
Work on your pronunciation or add subtitles
The world is flat, you can’t use the earth curvature.
Why would the dwarves make their main entrance large enough for a dragon to enter when something that was 10ft tall would’ve worked? Answer: vanity
You should have included the 7th Gate of Gondolin which was taller than Cirith Ungol.
Angband and Utumno remind me of Hivecities in 40k.
