Detour 2013 - (November-December 2013) |
| Detour
was conceived in 2004 as a
collateral series of events running in parallel with the Business of
Design Week and since then it has become an annual flagship programme
showcasing Hong Kong as a regional creative hub and featuring inspiring
designs from Hong Kong’s young and emerging creative talents. Detour
consists of a series of events and programmes incorporating the most
original, bold and stimulating ideas from both Hong Kong and across the
globe. It created a knowledge network of young talents, emerging
designers/artists, local as well as international, to exchange ideas
and experiences. This is designed to engage the larger population and
let the entire city come together to celebrate the creative ventures
around town. Four years ago a beach was created, a surprising and improvised public space praised by the community and media. Subsequently held in an old prison and a police station, the annual design extravaganza continued the formula of historic building adaptation. In 2013, Detour will find its new identity as a city-wide campaign further proliferating design is part of our daily life. Escaping from a single contained site of interest, Detour 2013 will deploy creativity upon our public transport system and infrastructure, including the transformation of a fleet of trams that would connect very different locations and microtopias of our city. As a result, four trams are participating in the project. |
