沙虫是坐落在比利时韦德市沿岸沙丘上的有机建构/空间/创造体。建筑有机的拱形外壳是用柳条编织而成的，总长45米，宽10米，高度则各不相同。沙虫弯曲的形态与比利时小镇上的沙丘融为一体。以作品和环境持续交互的“当地知识”为依据，这座高大的景观装置，是一件自由游走于建筑及环境艺术之间的作品。建筑师卡萨格兰及其年轻建筑师团队历时4周，与当地专家共同研究柳条材料，并讨论出“弱建筑”的命题，意思是“通过灵活和有机性设计成为与自然相融合的人工建筑”。

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 inbetween architecture and environmental art and is constructed entirely out of willow following the local knowledge of a continuing interaction between work and environment. 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.

游客们将沙虫誉为柳木大教堂，因地制宜，很好地适应了韦德市潮滩的具体情况。该空间可用于享用野餐，放松心情，也可以漫步其中进行后工业冥想。

The visitors are describing the Sandworm as a willow cathedral finely tuned to celebrate the site specific conditions of the Wenduine tidal beaches. The space is used for picnics, relaxation and post industrial meditation.

“在沙虫建筑内部，你将见到一场自然的光影奇观。当时我被震撼到了：怎么会有人可以用这样简单的自然材料创造出如此令人惊艳的美！建筑师认为，建筑的控制性违背自然也因此违背建筑本身。这样的‘建造人文环境’能够协调人和大自然之间的关系，使之和谐共存。想要融入自然，人类必须是弱的。对芬兰艺术家马可·卡萨格兰而言，设计是先天不足的，设计不能取代现实。建筑必须超越一切地址场所，必须适应环境，它必须反映生命，也反映自身，就像其他所有生物一样。”— 彼得·拜延

“Inside the sandworm you are greeted by a natural spectacle of light and shadow. I was amazed.How you can create such beauty with such simple natural materials. The artist believes that architectural control goes against nature and thus also agains architecture. The built human environment is a mediator between human nature and nature itself. To be part of this, man must be weak. To the Finnish artist Marco Casagrande designing is not sufficient. 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 and also be itself, as every other living being.” - Peter Beyen
