VICTOR F. “TREY” TRAHAN, III, FAIA, SELECTED AS THE 2021 LAUREATE OF THE AMERICAN PRIZE FOR ARCHITECTURE BY BOTH THE CHICAGO ATHENAEUM: MUSEUM OF ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN AND THE EUROPEAN CENTRE FOR ARCHITECTURE ART DESIGN AND URBAN STUDIES

New Orleans, LA /New York, NY, Nov. 16, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — New Orleans, LA/ New York, NY –Trahan Architects, a global architecture firm with studios in New Orleans and New York City, announced today that its founder and CEO, Victor F. “Trey” Trahan, III, FAIA, has been selected as the 2021 Laureate for The American Prize for Architecture by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.

The Chicago Athenaeum additionally recognized two Trahan Architects projects for American Architecture Awards—the Ochsner Center for Innovation and the New England Mixed-Use Development.

“Kindness and compassion are exactly what best exemplify the works of Victor F. “Trey” Trahan, III, FAIA,” stated Christian Narkiewicz-Laine, architecture critic and museum president/CEO of The Chicago Athenaeum. “Over the past three decades, Trahan’s buildings have demonstrated a combination of those qualities of talent, vision and commitment that have produced consistent and significant contributions to humanity and to the built environment through the art of architecture. They have had the unique capacity to convey seemingly conflicting characteristics—power and modesty, boldness and subtlety, public authority and bravado, and at the same time, a sense of humble intimacy.”

Narkiewicz-Laine continued, “The work is powerfully honest and authentic—sublime masterpieces of sincerity, erudition, steeped in a thorough knowledge of the discipline of architecture, and aspirations of profound cultural awareness. His built work gives opportunity and equality to the less privileged, mitigates the effects of natural disasters, reduces energy consumption, follows a resolute humanitarian agenda with the highest criteria and social objectives, and provides spaces that, at their best, welcome the public at large. Innovative and inspiring, he shows how architecture can and should improve people’s lives and impact our otherwise ordinary existence—lifting us far and beyond the hectic and chaotic nature of our time, place and cities. In this decade, this is an architect that deserves even greater professional and public accolade.”

The Award, organized jointly by two public institutions, The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies, honors American architects, as well as other global architects practicing on multiple continents, whose body of architectural work, over time, exemplifies superior design and humanist ideals. The American Prize for Architecture pays tribute to the spirit of the founder of modernism, Louis Sullivan, and the subsequent generations of Chicago practitioners such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Daniel H. Burnham and Holabird & Root. It also broadcasts globally the significant contributions of America’s rich and inspiring architecture practice and its living legacy to the world at large.

“To be selected as the 2021 Laureate for the American Prize for Architecture by the Chicago Athenaeum’s International Advisory Committee and for two of our projects to be awarded The American Prize for Architecture is an honor,” said Trahan. “These awards exemplify our ethos and commitment to rootedness, artistry, materiality and our responsibility to designing for spatial equity.”

Previous Laureates include Sir Norman Foster, Michael Graves, the General Services Administration, Richard Meier, Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture, Form4Architecture, James von Klemperer of Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates PC., and Bernardo Fort-Brescia and Laurinda Spear of Miami-based firm Arquitectonica. Last year, the Prize was given to Eric Owen Moss.

“Trahan epitomizes the revival of a more poetically and intellectually engaged architect who advocates for the role of the architect as being challenged to serve greater social, cultural and humanitarian needs and concerns of our civilization and society,” said Narkiewicz-Laine. “Each of Trahan’s buildings shows a precise understanding of how people will use the facility, the thoughtful and appropriate use of materials and a commitment to creating public spaces to benefit the larger community. By his professional example, he has so meaningfully expanded the role of the architect. Few in this profession, particularly today, have risen to the demands of practicing architecture as an artful endeavor. This is an architect who wholeheartedly believes in the poetic simplicity of materials and place-making, never leaving an architect’s heavy-handed fingerprint on the design concept, intent or outcome. For the inspiration he provides, through his complex, intellectual example and his rich contributions to architecture and humanity past and future, Trey Trahan is the recipient of the 2021 American Prize for Architecture.”

Trahan Architects was founded by Trahan on the belief that the mindful design of everyday spaces can elevate the human experience. It is a multi-disciplinary firm ranked the number one design firm by Architect 50, the annual ranking by Architect Magazine, the official publication of American Institute of Architects, which topped the list by building “dramatic, sumptuous and well-detailed projects.” Trahan Architects has received over a hundred national, regional and local awards, as well as several international design competitions, including five National AIA Awards.

Topline Securities’ Poll Predicts 75-100 BPS Increase in New Monetary Policy

A poll by Topline Securities suggests that an increase of 75 bps or higher will be noted in the November 2021 Monetary Policy Statement (MPS).

A total of 73 key financial market participants responded to the poll. For the coming MPS, 25 percent of the participants said that they expect an increase of more than 75 percent, while 30 percent said that they expect a rise of 75 bps.

Also, zero percent of them expect no change at all.

For the future expectations of the interest rate by the end of FY22, 11 percent hoped to see an increment of more than 150 bps, and 50 percent believe that the rise will be 150 bps. Additionally, 11 percent also said that they expect a rise of 100 bps only.

The respondents were also asked about the future value of the Pakistani Rupee (PKR) against the US Dollar (USD) by the end of FY22, and 33 percent said that they expect to see the PKR/USD between 180-185. Another 33 percent felt that the PKR will stand between 175-180 against the USD. Besides them, 22 percent thought that the dollar will be below 175 by the end of the current fiscal year.

The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has decided to hold a meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) on 19 November instead of 26 November. The date has been rescheduled to counter the unexpected developments that have affected inflation, and to reduce the uncertainty about the monetary policy in the market.

The central bank has already mentioned that the MPC expected the monetary policy to be accommodative in the near future and proposed “further tapering of stimulus to achieve mildly positive real interest rates over time”.

Topline Securities suggested that the recent talks with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) will be influential to the current MPC meeting and will affect the policy as it is presumed that Pakistan will fulfill the demands prior to further plans with the IMF.

The brokerage house in its report said that it looks forward to an increase of 75-100 bps in the policy rate from 7.25 percent, but a greater increase may be seen if the SBP tries to target a mildly positive real interest rate.
