A 5-storey building 'walks' to new location
The Lagena Primary School was constructed in 1935 by the municipal board of Shanghai's former French Concession. It was recently moved to make space for a new commercial and office complex.

The pillars of the building were truncated and the robotic "legs" were then extended upward, lifting the building before moving forward.
