In 3D modeling, gradients often define displacement data, shaping virtual landscapes.

The pedestrians flow into the alleyways from the main roads to immerse themselves in colorful places free from traffic, noises, and direct sunlight. Embracing this local feature, the project steps away from the adjacent buildings to open up the “alleys” that provide outdoor gathering, marketing, and resting space for people. ## Pages - [Selected Work](https://shinyangwork.com/?page_id=1926): Artist and Spatial Designer - [contact](https://shinyangwork.com/?page_id=1867) - [about](https://shinyangwork.com/?page_id=1809): Shin Yang is an artist and spatial designer originally from Taiwan and now based between Los Angeles and Taipei.
