[[File:Ancient ziggurat at Ali Air Base Iraq 2005.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|''[[Ziggurat Ur|Zigurat Besar di Ur]]'' ([[Kegubernuran Dhi Qar|Provinsi Zikar]], Irak), dibangun pada zaman [[Dinasti Ketiga Ur|Kulawangsa Ur Ketiga]] (sekitar tahun 2100 SM), didarmabaktikan kepada dewa bulan [[Sin (mitologi)|Nana]]]]
Daerah dataran Tigris-Efrat tidak mengandung mineral maupun ditumbuhi pepohonan. Bangunan-bangunan Sumer terbuat dari bata lempung cembung datar, tidak direkat dengan [[lepa]] maupun [[semen]]. Bangunan-bangunan bata lempung pada akhirnya akan hancur, oleh sebab itu bangunan-bangunan tersebut secara berkala dirubuhkan, diratakan dengan tanah, dan dibangun ulang di tempat yang sama. Aktivitas bangun ulang yang berlangsung terus-menerus lambat laun menaikkan permukaan tanah di kota-kota, sehingga kawasan perkotaan menjadi lebih tinggi daripada lingkungan di sekitarnya. Bukit-bukit yang dihasilkannya, yang dikenal dengan sebutan [[Tel (arkeologi)|tal]], dijumpai di seluruh Timur Dekat Kuno.<!--
 
Menurut [[Archibald Sayce]], [[piktogram]]-piktogram primitif dari babak awal sejarah Sumer (babak Uruk) menyiratkan bahwa "batu merupakan barang langka, tetapi sudah dipotong menjadi balok-balok dan cap-cap. Bata adalah material bangunan yang lumrah digunakan, dan dengan batalah kota-kota, benteng-benteng, kuil-kuil, dan rumah-rumah dibangun. Kota diperlengkapi dengan menara-menara dan tegak di atas landasan buatan manusia; tampilan rumah pun menyerupai menara. Rumah diperlengkapi pintu dengan daun pintu yang dapat digerakkan pada dapat digerakkan padasemacam sendi-sendinyadaun pintu d yangdan dapat dibdibuka wastutup provideddengan withsemacam aanak doorkunci. whichPintu turnedkota onlebih abesar hinge,lagi andukurannya coulddan betampaknya openedberdaun withpintu a sort of key; the city gate was on a larger scale, and seems to have been doubleganda.

Bangunan Sumer yang paling mengagumkan dan paling terkenal adalah zigurat, landasan berundak raksasa tempat kuil berdiri. Cap-cap silinder Sumer juga menampilkan gambar rumah-rumah yang terbuat dari gelagah, tidak bedanya dengan rumah-rumah gelagah yang didirikan oleh orang-[[Arab Rawa-Rawa|orang Arab Paya]] di Irak Selatan sampai tahun 400 Tarikh Masehi. Orang Sumer juga mengembangkan [[pelengkung]], yang memungkinkan mereka untuk mengembangkan sejenis kubah yang kukuh. Mereka membangun kubah dengan cara membangun dan menghubungkan beberapa pelengkung sekaligus. Kuil-kuil dan istana-istana orang Sumer dibangun dengan menggunakan bahan-bahan bangunan maupun teknik pengerjaan bangunan yang lebih maju, misalnya dilengkapi dengan dinding-[[dinding tunjang]], [[ceruk (arsitektur)|ceruk]]-ceruk pada dinding, [[tonggak|saka]]-saka separuh, dan pasak-[[pasak lempung]].
The most impressive and famous of Sumerian buildings are the ziggurats, large layered platforms that supported temples. Sumerian cylinder seals also depict houses built from reeds not unlike those built by the [[Marsh Arabs]] of Southern Iraq until as recently as 400 CE. The Sumerians also developed the [[arch]], which enabled them to develop a strong type of dome. They built this by constructing and linking several arches. Sumerian temples and palaces made use of more advanced materials and techniques, such as [[buttress]]es, [[Alcove (architecture)|recesses]], half [[column]]s, and [[clay nail]]s.
