Designed by Mark Balint and visualized by Bora Güler, the SEARCH SYSTEM is a mission that fulfilled its purpose through exploration. It thrives on discovering and transforming the places it lands. Tough It never made it to production (yet), here it is in all its glory.

[ARCHITECTURE IDEAS COMPETITION 2025] 3rd Prize (shared): OFF - Open Floor Frankfurt by @gumball.agency : Moritz Hahn @morubh , Mark Balint @markblt , and Jakob Bittner (Würzburg, Germany) The jury valued the project’s investigative approach and critical reading of the urban landscape. Through a careful and articulated process revolving around social and economic issues, the project highlights a striking reality: the largely under-occupied business district is symptomatic of a structural imbalance between built production and social needs. Mark Balint, Jakob Bittner, and Moritz Hahn are spatial designers who joined forces for various collaborations after their studies in Würzburg, Germany. In 2025 they founded their shared practice gumball.agency, an experimental, transdisciplinary concept engine operating at the intersection of art, spatial design, and urban culture. Guided by research and intuition, they explore untapped potentials through unconventional synergies, creating projects that blur boundaries between disciplines and open new perspectives on contemporary spatial practice.

‘RENAISSANCE 2.0 x Peter Yee’, the first solo phygital exhibition showcasing 25 years of personal archives from Oakley’s former Vice President of Design, embarking on a multisensory journey spanning past, present, and future. Presented by SPIN.FASHION’s web3 technologies, the exhibition offers immersive experiences transcending time and space. Accompanying the exhibition is ‘VECTOR,’ a short film that brings to life a cross-dimensional architectural odyssey within the phygital movement. Seamlessly integrating the physical space at K11 MUSEA, ‘VECTOR’ transports visitors into a dreamlike infrastructure, where reality blurs. ‘VECTOR’ challenges perceptions and invites exploration, enhancing the experience with visual effects that induce sensations of spatial distortions and weightlessness: guests are invited to recline in the iconic Butterflychair [17BB3], co-created by Mark Balint and Lor Albrighi, immersing in Peter’s designs and audio guide through SPIN XR on Apple Vision Pro, setting the stage for an unforgettable exploration of art, design, and technology. ‘The concept enables reflection on time by immersing individuals in curated worlds through spatial computing’, commented by SPIN.FASHION’s Spatial Director, Mark Balint, and Visual Director, Bora Güler. Beyond its physical manifestation at K11 MUSEA, realised by In The Cut, the ‘VECTOR’ short also presents a framework for the physical-digital intersection in retail, where SPIN.FASHION sets a new standard for experiential architecture. ‘RENAISSANCE 2.0 x PETER YEE’ Phygital Exhibition Date: March 29 — April 25, 2024 Time: Everyday 11:00—21:00 Physical Exhibition: G23A, G/F, MUSE EDITION, K11 MUSEA Virtual Exhibition: DM to get access on Apple Vision Pro Spatial Direction: Mark Balint @markblt Film Creation & Direction: Bora Güler @borasuns Sound: Jonathan Schubert @_jonathanschubert #R20xPYD #renaissance20 #peteryee #spinfashion #k11musea #phygitalarchive #Oakley #applevisionpro #mixreality #XR #artbaselhongkong #web3 #spatialcomputing #hongkong #culturallegacy #smartbotique #web3hongkong #phygitalspace #spatialdesign

We are happy to announce that our Concept “SPAiCEPILOTA23 – A Space Festival” by @spaceunited.eu .eu made the 3RD PRIZE 🏆 @terravivacompetitions TACTICAL URBANISM NOW! 2023 Team: Moritz Hahn, Mark Balint [ @spaceunited.eu ] @morubh @markblt - “Space as a medium offers its inhabitants a distinct opportunity for self-expression and self-identification. Our proposal tackles contemporary urban development in the form of an evolving space festival as creative and inclusive practice. The aim is to challenge traditional notions of spatial production while emphasizing sustainability, community, and the role of public space as a common good.” - #TerraVivaCompetitions #tacticalurbanismnow2023 #tacticalurbanismnow #ArchitectureCompetition #Competitionresults #competitionawards #awards #awardedprojects #competitionwinners #finalists #topprojects #architecturelovers #winner #thirdprize #spaicepilota23 #Germany #urbantransformationdesign #aiarchitecture #midjourney #urbanism #spaceunitedeurope

OnSpace Exhibit Opening this friday! 📛🕹❇️ come by at Trittligasse 4, Zürich special thanks :) @gamut.pt @fablab_lisboa @ginger.additive @arroios activa @morubh @inkenkircher ___ OnSpace describes a journey of personal, emotional, analytical, theoretical, humorous, and joyful confrontations with space. A relational concept of space that encompasses the social structure, the material world of objects and bodies, and the symbolic dimension of the social world is explored. The guiding idea of relationality is the assumption that space emerges in the interplay of objects, structures, and actions. The use of projections, installations, objects, visual concepts, and spatial tactics accompanies the journey through the exhibit. #spacesby #markbalint
