Sandworm is
an organic structure/space/creature realized on the dunes of the
Wenduine coastline, Belgium. The 45 meters long and 10 m wide and high
installation moves freely in-between architecture and environmental art
and is constructed entirely out of willow following the local knowledge
of working with sand and willow. Casagrande worked hard with his team of
young architects and local experts for 4 weeks in order to create
something that he describes as 「weak architecture」 – a human made
structure that wishes to become part of nature through flexibility and
organic presence. The visitors are describing the Sandworm as a
willow cathedral finely tuned to celebrate the site specific conditions
of the Wenduine tidal beaches.
