沙蟲是坐落在比利時韋德市沿岸沙丘上的有機建構/空間/創造體。建筑有機的拱形外殼是用柳條編織而成的，總長45米，寬10米，高度則各不相同。沙蟲彎曲的形態與比利時小鎮上的沙丘融為一體。以作品和環境持續交互的“當地知識”為依據，這座高大的景觀裝置，是一件自由游走于建筑及環境藝術之間的作品。建筑師卡薩格蘭及其年輕建筑師團隊歷時4周，與當地專家共同研究柳條材料，并討論出“弱建筑”的命題，意思是“通過靈活和有機性設計成為與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.

游客們將沙蟲譽為柳木大教堂，因地制宜，很好地適應了韋德市潮灘的具體情況。該空間可用于享用野餐，放松心情，也可以漫步其中進行后工業冥想。

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.

“在沙蟲建筑內部，你將見到一場自然的光影奇觀。當時我被震撼到了：怎么會有人可以用這樣簡單的自然材料創造出如此令人驚艷的美！建筑師認為，建筑的控制性違背自然也因此違背建筑本身。這樣的‘建造人文環境’能夠協調人和大自然之間的關系，使之和諧共存。想要融入自然，人類必須是弱的。對芬蘭藝術家馬可·卡薩格蘭而言，設計是先天不足的，設計不能取代現實。建筑必須超越一切地址場所，必須適應環境，它必須反映生命，也反映自身，就像其他所有生物一樣?！薄?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
