I find constructing with sand hard to accept as beautiful.

Yes, there are entire mafias operating in the sand business, stealing it wherever they can.
There's the documentary Sand Wars that highlights the issues: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sand_Wars
Al Jazeera aired a docu about it too (don't know if it was the same one): https://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/specialseries/2017/12/sand-wars-171213082235210.html
For an overview on the issues of sand extraction the documentary "Sand Wars" (2013) is interesting to watch.

I believe it's available on Prime.
A must watch for the impact of construction and infrastructure in the world is the documentary Sand Wars. They lightly mention alternatives such as hemp blocks at the end. Never thought sand was so problematic and important (just behind water and oil).
There's an interesting documentary about this 'Sand Wars' here's the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAPfwwb59uY
