Trey Trahan has been invited to be on the Perkins + Will DLC Jury for their annual competition. Trey is joined on the jury with Thomas Phifer of Thomas Phifer & Partners, Debra Lehman Smith of studio LSM, Casey Jones of jones | kroloff, Turan Duda of Duda | Paine Architects, Robin Abrams, Head of the North Carolina State University School of Architecture, and Tallman Trask, Executive Vice President of Duke University.
This year’s competition is titled “Excess in the City: The Challenges of Prosperity” and focuses on an urban site in Durham, North Carolina.
Every year, for 15 years, the Design Leadership Council (DLC) at Perkins+Will supports a competition eliciting the engagement of its less senior professionals within the organization to take part in a design charrette in the hope of eliciting responses to provocative design challenges.
The DLC is an inter-office representative body that is charged with furthering the state of the art and technology of comprehensive design excellence at Perkins+Will. As a highly engaged, interdisciplinary group of thought and design leaders, the DLC serves to ensure the continuity and advancement of Perkins+Will’s exemplary design culture and our internationally recognized reputation for design leadership.
The DLC achieves these goals through a series of initiatives and ongoing activities established to raise the level of firm-wide discourse and performance with regards to innovation, creativity, technology, fulfillment of social and environmental responsibilities, and integrated design practice.
The DLC provides a framework for the periodic review, evaluation and recognition of the professional design achievements of the practice, offices, teams and individuals. It sponsors design awards programs, an annual internal design competition, as well as internal peer reviews, workshops, and evaluations of selected high profile projects which may significantly impact Perkins+Will’s reputation for design excellence. The DLC also provides a venue for the identification and discussion of current and future design opportunities and challenges.
