Here are some quotes from Marvin Malecha:

Marvin Malecha, dean of the NCSU School of Design, said yesterday that the plan for the new convention center hotel “is very confused” … “hard to cope with for everybody around it” … (and) “really feels Eastern Bloc.”

"Architects have the ability to address the most important questions of our time in terms of minimizing the built environment’s impact on the natural environment...” 

In the field of research, Malecha has been the principal investigator for two major projects. The first, The Total Energy House, was funded by the General Dynamics Corporation to investigate single-family home design in the major climate zones of the United States to facilitate independence from the energy grid; the second, funded primarily by the Kellogg Foundation, developed and built a Center for Regenerative Studies on the Cal Poly campus.
