5층 짜리 건물 스스로 걸어간다고? VIDEO: A 5-story building in Shanghai 'walks' to a new location

A 5-story building in Shanghai 'walks' to a new location

Published 30th October 2020

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."

' 5층 짜리 스스로 건물 걸어간다고?    이달 초 시 동부 황푸 지역을 지나던 상하이 주민들은 '걸어가는' 건물이라는 특이한 광경을 우연히 목격했다. 85년 된 한 초등학교가 전면 철거되고 "걷는 기계"라고 불리는 새로운 기술을 사용하여 이전되었다. 사진 영상 설명: 상하이 초등학교 건물의 이전 모습을 보여주는 티멜랍스. 크레딧: 에볼루션 시프트 이 프로젝트의 수석 기술 감독자인 랑우지에 따르면, 이 도시는 최근 역사적인 건축물을 보존하기 위한 노력으로, 기술자들은 5층 건물 아래에 거의 200개의 이동식 지지대를 부착했다고 한다. 지지대는 로봇 다리처럼 움직인다. 그들은 두 그룹으로 나뉘는데, 그것은 번갈아 가며 위아래로 올라가면서 인간의 걸음걸이를 흉내낸다. 상하이 에볼루션 시프트가 2018년 신기술을 개발한 란씨는 "감지센서를 부착해 건물이 어떻게 전진하는지를 제어하는 데 도움이 된다"고 말했다. 그는 "건물이 일어서서 걸을 수 있도록 목발을 주는 것과 같다"고 말했다. 황기철 콘페이퍼 에디터 Ki Chul Hwang Conpaper editor curator

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.

The project marks the first time this "walking machine" method has been used in Shanghai to relocate a historical building, the government statement said.
