so many. Mr Mark conceived a bold plan to relocate 10,000 trees and 50 Ming and Ching dynasty houses to Shanghai. A journey of 800 kilometres. A rescue team was promptly assembled of botanists, bridge engineers and experts in traditional Chinese architecture. Mountainous terrain and frequent flash floods meant that the task was not without danger. But the team persevered, racing each tree to Shanghai as quickly as possible for it to have a chance of survival. Meanwhile, in Jiangxi Thie, ancient houses were being dismantled. Building techniques dating back 400 years were rediscovered. Exquisite carvings above the doorways revealed family history spanning more than 2000 years. After three years of nursing on with newly grown branches stretching from their ancient trunks, almost 80% of the tree survived. But what does the future have in store for them? In 2009 a team a two man learned of this remarkable relocation project, a spot near the ancient trees was chosen and plans were set in motion for a new a man property. I would incorporate some of the rescued houses in collaboration with a team of Chinese architect. The project gradually took shape, surrounded by these ancient trees. The architecture embodies the essence of Chinese traditional culture, embracing a tranquil and simple way of life, capturing the passing moment while contemplating thousands of years gone by. Many years from now, after all of us are gone, they will keep on recounting a piece or vibrant history. You're yeah.
