sandworm

sandworm by marco casagrande. wenduine, belgium.

sandworm is an organic structure realized on the dunes of the wenduine coastline, belgium. the installation is made entirely out of willow & is 45 metres long & 10 metres wide & high. inside the sandworm you are greeted by a natural spectacle of light & shadow. finnish artist marco casagrande believes that architectural control goes against nature & thus also against architecture. the built human environment is a mediator between human nature & nature itself. he believes design should not replace reality. the building must grow out of the location, it must react to its environment, it must be a reflection of life & also be itself, as every other living being.
