Perkins Eastman is an international architecture, urban design, planning, strategic consulting, interior design, landscape architecture, graphic design, and project management 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, opened his own architecture firm in 1894 after beginning his career at the famed Burnham and Root in Chicago, and would become affiliated with the Prairie School of architecture along with Frank Lloyd Wright.[2] Brad's father, Lawrence Bradford Perkins, would go on to form to the global firm Perkins&Will.[3] 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.[4]
In 1981, Perkins and Eastman left Perkins&Will and partnered with Eli Attia to form Attia & Perkins.[5] 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.
By offering architecture, master planning and market analysis, design research and strategic consulting, interior design, experiential graphics, and landscape architecture services, the firm has grown to more than 1,000 employees and 24 studios around the world. Its commissions have spanned more than 60 countries and won more than 800 awards along the way. [6]
