Pereira & Luckman was a Los Angeles, California architectural firm that partners Charles Luckman and William Pereira founded in Los Angeles in 1950. They had been classmates at the University of Illinois’ School of Architecture and had each become prominent thereafter, Pereira designing cinemas around the U.S. and a film studio for Paramount Pictures. The partnership eventually employed more than 300 architects.

The firm is notable for having designed such landmarks in the Los Angeles area as the Theme Building at Los Angeles International Airport, CBS Television City and several J. W. Robinson's department stores, but also work for NASA, Hilton Hotels and many others. It employed Paul Williams.[1]
