The Large UV Optical Infrared Surveyor (LUVOIR) is a multi-wavelength space observatory concept being developed by the Goddard Space Flight Center and proposed for the Decadal Survey Concept Study started in January 2016. The concept is based on a mirror from 8 m to 18 m in diameter, and covering the ultraviolet, visible and infrared wavelengths. It would be a Large Strategic Science Mission and be up for selection sometime after 2020. LUVOIR is a set of goals and requirements for a space telescope, but is not a specific design. More concrete proposals have their own names, such as ATLAST and HDST. One of those will be selected to become LUVOIR.
