That it would be "materializing the unimaginable" and "at the threshold of human perception" is what the creators say about "the first fully immersive, solid, human-scale, enclosed structure that is entirely 3D printed out of sand". As ground-breaking as it may be for 3D printing, as disappointing it is for architecture: Having visited today the Fridolinsmünster in Bad Säckingen, an - I would say random - baroque church, I can easily, without the slightest doubt attach the afore mentioned adjectives to this 300-years-old building which is - in contrast to the contemporary room - not only showing off craftsmanship, but also aesthetic judgement and equilibrium.
I for my part, will hold off getting overwhelmed until aesthetic keeps up with technology.

Turning the Place Over - Richard Wilson, 2007 from Liverpool Biennial on Vimeo.
“
One of Wilson’s incredible temporary works, Turning the Place Over colonises Cross Keys House, Moorfields. It runs in daylight hours, triggered by a light sensor. (...) Turning the Place Over consists of an 8 metres diameter ovoid cut from the façade of a building in Liverpool city centre and made to oscillate in three dimensions. The revolving façade rests on a specially designed giant rotator, usually used in the shipping and nuclear industries, and acts as a huge opening and closing ‘window’, offering recurrent glimpses of the interior during its constant cycle during daylight hours.
