00:00What does it take to rebuild an indigenous slate house?
00:03Bridging the traditional with the modern, architecture students at Shijian University in Taipei
00:09help Taiwan masters reconstruct this traditional house.
00:13These structures must be rebuilt every 10 years or so, as their wooden components are prone to damage,
00:20making this a unique hands-on learning opportunity.
00:36Originally built in Pindong in Taiwan's south, the Pindong's late house was moved to Taipei in the north.
00:43The indigenous peoples in Pindong gifted the house to the school's founder, Xie Dongming,
00:48as a thank you for his help in the community.
00:50You can imagine that this really was a big plan.
00:56From the village of 3D,
00:58and then cut the house into every building.
01:03It's a piece of stone, it's all cut down.
01:09And then from Pindong to Taipei,
01:14and then put it together again.
01:15and then put it together.
01:17This is almost like the history of this school.
01:22Now, these university students also become a part of that history,
01:27helping the Taiwan masters continue their time-honored traditions.
01:31and put it together.
01:35This is a part of the process.
01:46We know it will make it that we will be able to maintain this work in the world.
01:57That's right.
01:59We have to continue to go and continue to go.
02:04Usually, we can see this building here.
02:07But I never thought about the behind the work of the purpose.
02:11This time, I think we had a chance to see
02:14that the wall of the rock on the wall
02:16with the building of the building.
02:19And then we can see the building.
02:21I think it's a very interesting experience.
02:22Because it's just a little bit on it
02:25It's got some angle and angle
02:27And then it's with the teacher
02:30The whole process is a kind of material
