Zero Degree Machine Ltd

Zero Degree Machine Limited is an interdisciplinary design practice that operates at the intersection of architecture, installation art and research‑driven publishing. Since 2012 the studio has produced a diverse portfolio of experimental works – from large‑scale installations such as ALTAR (2024) and Transmediale: “Abandon all hope ye who enter here” (2022), to built‑environment projects like the Broken House (2023) and Riverforest in Leixlip (2019). Their practice also extends into the written word, with titles including *Utopia Computer. The “New” in Architecture?* (2023) and *States of Entanglement: Data in the Irish Landscape* (2021), alongside contributions to international magazines such as ARCH+ and Strelka.

The studio’s core specialisations encompass site‑specific installations, speculative architecture, public‑art commissions and competition entries (e.g., Gyrostasis 2021, Kunstsilo 2016). Zero Degree Machine collaborates with cultural institutions, biennales, and academic bodies, delivering thought‑provoking projects that interrogate the relationship between data, landscape and built form.
