Perkins Eastman is an international architecture, urban design, planning, strategic consulting, and interior design firm. Headquartered in New York City, the firm is led by founding Principals Bradford Perkins and Mary-Jean Eastman.

History

The history of Perkins Eastman goes back more than a century, when Co-Founder and Chairman Brad Perkins' grandfather, Dwight Heald Perkins, started an architecture firm in 1897.[2] Dwight later received commissions for the design of two universities in China. Brad's father, Lawrence Bradford Perkins, would go on to form to the global firm Perkins&Will.[1] Bradford Perkins met his future Perkins Eastman co-founder, Mary-Jean Eastman, in the late 1970s when they were both working on New York City's bid to host the 1984 Summer Olympics -- Perkins was with the joint venture of Davis Brody and Llewelyn-Davies International while Eastman was working in tandem for the State of New York. When Los Angeles won the bid, Eastman went to work for Davis Brody briefly, while Perkins joined Perkins&Will in 1977 as the managing principal of its East Coast offices. Eastman followed Perkins there in 1978 as the studio leader of its New York office.[3]

In 1981, Perkins and Eastman left Perkins&Will and partnered with Eli Attia to form Attia & Perkins.[4] In 1984, Perkins bought out Attia's interest and reorganized the firm as Bradford Perkins & Associates. By 1985, Perkins and Eastman partnered with Barbara Geddis, and the name changed to Perkins Geddis Eastman. Geddis stepped down in 1991, and the firm became Perkins Eastman.
