  Taiwan’s officially-endorsed “Lego master” Huang Yen-chih has used more than 200,000 Lego bricks and spent three months to piece together an eye-catching landscape of Taichung’s famous Gaomei Wetlands. He also used 2,000 Lego Minifigures to create a replica of Taichung Intercontinental Baseball Stadium, conjuring up a brand-new toy experience.

  To celebrate the opening of Taichung’s first authorized Lego store — the nation’s second — Lego Taiwan invited Huang to create a “Lego wall” of the city’s landscapes within the new Lego store, which is located in Taichung’s Top City department store. After a great deal of discussion, the city’s Gaomei Wetlands, which has been praised as one of the “Six Heavenly Realms of the World,” was chosen from among dozens of Taichung landmarks to be the store’s centerpiece Lego design.

  Huang spent three months and used more than 200,000 bricks to create a landscape depicting the Gaomei Wetlands during sunset and employed a multi-colored layering technique to create the effect of a watercolor painting’s rendering of a golden sun melting into the night sky. Huang was even able to simulate the gradations of sunlight reflected on the water’s surface, as well as scenes of parents and children playing together, demonstrating that the humble Lego brick can be elevated to an art form.

  To recreate the atmosphere of Taichung Intercontinental Baseball Stadium full of players and spectators, Huang used more than 2,000 Lego Minifigures. The stands are packed full of enthusiastic baseball fans and there is a scoreboard made from Lego bricks, creating a unique and eye-catching model of the stadium.

  配合樂高全國「唯二」授權專賣店進駐台中，設在台中大遠百的中部首間樂高授權專賣店，也打造「台中限定」店裝特色，邀黃彥智以台中景觀設計樂高牆，幾經討論從數十個台中地景精挑細選後，選定享有「世界六大天空之境」讚譽的高美溼地作為台中店的店景主設計。

  黃彥智費時三個月時間設計，利用超過二十萬片樂高積木，設計出「夕陽下的高美溼地」。利用不同色彩堆疊，完成如水彩渲染的黃金夕陽，加上倒映在溼地上的漸層光感，畫中並有親子遊玩場景，呈現樂高拼裝藝術。

  此外，他另組設台中洲際棒球場，為呈現球場的爆滿運動人氣，更利用逾兩千個樂高造型小人偶打造，看台上湧入滿場的熱情球迷，加上計分板是用積木顆粒拼裝，特色積木造景也很吸睛。
