The Virginia Center for Architecture announced on Jan. 10, 2013, that Marvin Malecha, FAIA, will serve as juror for its upcoming Art by Architects exhibition. The exhibition is scheduled to open in April 11, 2013, and will feature fine art by architects and architectural professionals. Entries are being accepted for consideration through Friday, Jan. 18.
Dean of the College of Design at NC State University, and former AIA president, Malecha’s career has been characterized by leadership in academic management; attention to the scholarly and reflective aspects of a design education; a consulting practice that informs a life in the academy; and a passionate belief in the absolute right of access to an education for every individual in our society. A respected artist, Malecha’s artwork was recently featured in an exhibition titled The Urge to Draw, the Cause to Reflect: Drawings, Sketchbooks, Provocations.
Michael Bednar, FAIA, is the curator for the exhibition. Bednar, a professor emeritus at the University of Virginia, is also an artist. He works primarily in abstract steel sculpture, focusing on architectonic geometry and spatial relationships.
