An 85-year-old primary school has been lifted off the ground and relocated using new technology dubbed the "walking machine." In the city's effort to preserve historic buildings, engineers attached nearly 200 mobile supports under the five-story building. 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. The Lagena Primary School was constructed in 1935. It was moved in order to make space for a new commercial and office complex. Over the course of 18 days, the building was rotated 21 degrees and moved 62 meters away to its new location.
