Only one suggested answer. Too many contexts referring to a biological context and too few referring to architecture. Not sure enough to make a call...

translocation

It means moving the thing and erecting it elsewhere, or even moving a whole building (a historical building which now forms part of the Sony Center in Berlin was shifted by a couple of hundred yards on an air cushion system a few years ago)

This site is about the event in Berlin. Obviously translated, but not by me, so someone chose the same word as me.

http://www.nationalmonuments.co.za/g.htm
The site includes the passage:
A building or work should remain in its historical location. Translocation of all or part of a building or work is unacceptable unless this is the sole means of ensuring its survival.
