Crow’s research specializations include medieval history, history and theory of craft and architecture, digital craft, architecture and computation, architectural robotics, and material ontology. He investigates how technological changes influence material ontology and artisanal epistemology, with a focus on material culture’s role in the origins of Gothic architecture. Key publications feature his 2024 peer-reviewed book, A New Material Interpretation of Twelfth-Century Architecture: Reconstructing the Abbey of Saint-Denis (Amsterdam University Press), which received the 2025 ANZAMEMS Chris Jones Book Prize. Other notable works include “Fear and Bernard of Clairvaux’s Living Stones” published in Room One Thousand, the University of California at Berkeley’s interdisciplinary journal on architectural history, and “Approaching a Material History of Architecture” in Performative Materials in Architecture and Design (2013). His design outputs encompass “You are gone and lost forever” (2024), “Dunes Rolling Down Dunes” (2023), and “After Warracknabeal” (2022). Crow contributes to funded projects such as Decarbonising Buildings in Asia, Ecological Impacts of Material Supply Chains - Building 4.0 Scholarship, and the Warracknabeal Court House Orrery Project.
