The former Police Married Quarters, located a few blocks from Hong Kong's bustling financial district, once served as dormitories for police personnel. But the two buildings have been left empty for years, and they now sit behind closed gates with nary a visitor -- except during the next two weeks, when thousands will visit to see the design exhibition Detour 2011. Green-themed art installations and workshops populate the rooms on the first two floors, while the large courtyard sandwiched between the buildings offers plenty of space for sculptures and music performances.
In this photo, straws, plastic bottles and lights create a fiberoptic effect in one of the rooms.
