Shanghai residents passing through the city's eastern Huangpu district earlier this month might have stumbled upon an unusual sight: a "walking" building.
An 85-year-old primary school has been lifted off the ground -- in its entirety -- and relocated using new technology dubbed the "walking machine."
In the city's latest effort to preserve historic structures, engineers attached nearly 200 mobile supports under the five-story building, according to Lan Wuji, chief technical supervisor of the project.
The supports act like robotic legs. They're split into two groups which alternately rise up and down, imitating the human stride. Attached sensors help control how the building moves forward, said Lan, whose company Shanghai Evolution Shift developed the new technology in 2018.
"It's like giving the building crutches so it can stand up and then walk," he said.
A timelapse shot by the company shows the school inching laboriously along, one tiny step at a time.
According to a statement from the Huangpu district government, the Lagena Primary School was constructed in 1935 by the municipal board of Shanghai's former French Concession. It was moved in order to make space for a new commercial and office complex, which will be completed by 2023.
Workers had to first dig around the building to install the 198 mobile supports in the spaces underneath, Lan explained. After the pillars of the building were truncated, the robotic "legs" were then extended upward, lifting the building before moving forward.
Over the course of 18 days, the building was rotated 21 degrees and moved 62 meters (203 feet) away to its new location. The relocation was completed on October 15, with the old school building set to become a center for heritage protection and cultural education.
This project marks the first time for "walking machine" method ever been used in Shanghai to relocate a historical building, according to government statement.
Shangai has Decade records of destruction;
In recent decades, China's rapid modernization has seen many historic buildings razed to clear land for gleaming skyscrapers and office buildings. But growing concern about the architectural heritage always lost as a result of demolition across the country brought about this new innovation.
Some cities have launched new preservation and conservation campaigns on occasion ;the use of advanced technologies that allow old buildings to be relocated rather than demolished.

The official indifference toward historic architecture can be traced back to when Communist Party leader Mao Zedong was in power.
During the disastrous Cultural Revolution, from 1966 to 1976, innumerable historic buildings and monuments were destroyed as part of his war on the "Four Olds" (old customs, culture, habits and ideas).
