Larry Barrow completed the Doctor of Design degree at Harvard Design School (HDS) in 2001 where he wrote his doctorate dissertation"Cybernetic Architecture - Process and Form - The Impact of Information Technology." He is Director of the Digital Research and Imaging Lab (DRIL) and Graduate Program (GP) at Mississippi State University's (MSU) College of Architecture (CAAD).
Larry is an award winning designer who has practiced architecture for twenty five years. His diverse career has been an odyssey of experimentation that includes a 10 year period of design-develop-build. His diverse knowledge and practice base is the underpinning to his current research and pedagogy that focuses on the impact of information technology on design and "making" (i.e. design-build-manufacture) with the goal of creating innovative products and transformative architecture.
Larry directs the Design Research & Informatics Lab (DRIL) that is comprised of a design and technology group of architects, industrial designers and technology experts that are internationally recognized for process and product innovations in the fields of architecture, product design and furniture design. The DRIL focuses on technology transfer from manufacturing industries into housing, products and informatics devices/systems with the goal of assisting economic development in Mississippi.
Larry directs the internationally recognized multi-disciplinary Graduate Program which offers post-professional education to architects, product designers, interior designers, landscape architects, engineers, artists and builders. The primary mission of the program is to assist each student by enhancing their passion and talents for pursuit of leadership in their chosen field of academic inquiry and/or practice. The program aspires to educate students who will contribute to the betterment of architecture at the local, national and global scale.

Research
Posted: June 14, 2006
Larry is Director of the Design Research & Informatics Lab (DRIL).
http://www.dril.sarc.msstate.edu/
MODULAR HOUSING SYSTEMS: Computer-Aided-Design, Manufacturing and Construction: Research agenda pursued in the Design Research & Informatics Lab (DRIL) focuses on the integration of emerging technologies in the process and products of architecture with an emphasis on Factory-Built Modular Housing Systems with technology transfer from the aerospace, automotive, marine and furniture industries. Collaborative partners includes the MSU Raspet Aerospace Lab (Director - David Lawrence), MSU Franklin Center for Furniture
Manufacturing & Management (Dr. Steve Hunter),and the MSU Center for Automotive Vehicular Systems (Neil Littell). This research is focused on performance based sustainable modular housing system(s).
DESIGN: Digital Design Pedagogy: Research addresses the increasing complexity of design ideation and representation in architectural education as well as the firm studio. Digital design tools and strategies are being investigated in an exploratory manner as a means of inquiry in human cognition and collaborative-integrative design-build-make models and learning paradigms.
ECOLOGY: Integration of Green principals and biological alternatives into architecture. Current specific focus is on Constructed Wetlands and Rural Domestic Water Quality: this research addresses the problem of dysfunctional septic systems in rural settings and the use of alternative natural eco-systems. Collaborative partner - DRIL Manager Sarah Pittman.
DIGITAL DIVIDE: "The Digital Divide and Rural Revitalization in Rural Mississippi;" a general survey of Information Technology (IT) issues in rural Mississippi as related to business, manufacturing, manufactured housing, medicine, education, and IT infrastructure.
The above noted research agendas are spin-offs of this foundational research in the Digital Research & Imaging Lab initiated 2002 through the MSU Office of Research with collaborative partner - DRIL Manager Sarah Pittman.
