Join us for an evening of bowling, delicious food, drinks, and great company. Show off your skills on the lanes and help us raise funds for the Florida Architects Political Action Committee (FAPAC).

ADVOCACY gives us a seat at the table … FAPAC gives us a voice

Consider it an investment in your bottom line. That’s right, you get a return for your participation. Whether it is a tax on architectural services, statewide code changes, or the legislative review of architects’ licensure requirements, the Florida Legislature addresses issues that can cost you plenty.

Architecture is among the most highly regulated — and most complex — professions of any field. By investing in FAPAC, you raise the level of awareness of architects in the political process. Additionally, you can help elect lawmakers who are supportive of your political agenda, and most importantly, understand the nature of your profession.

In recent years, FAPAC has targeted candidates that have made a difference. Through our political efforts and local input, we contributed to candidates who were major players and were elected.

MEET THE 2025 AIA MIAMI CHAPTER DIRECTOR

Javier has been a registered architect for almost 20 years and has worked with firms such as Bermello-Ajamil and Rodriguez Architects. For the last 7 years he has been working at Gresham Smith where he works on the role of Senior Architect for healthcare.

Javier had the opportunity to serve as a director during pivotal events like the establishment of the Miami Center for Architecture and Design (MCAD) and the AIA National convention in Miami.

He is now eager to bring his experience and commitment to the table once again. Javier is passionate about providing opportunities for our members to engage more deeply with the AIA and to appreciate the immense value our Chapter can offer them. His goal is to broaden our activities, inviting more participation from the membership at large.

MEET THE 2025 AIA MIAMI CHAPTER DIRECTOR

After graduating from Florida
International University with a Master of Architecture and a Minor in the Visual Arts, Eduardo went on to
work at Oppenheim Architecture, Via Design Studio, and FIU as an adjunct professor and a guest
critic for various design presentations. As a result of his previous experiences, he is now able to
grow and evolve his design philosophies at Calil Architects, where he's a Co-Principal alongside his
father Eduardo Calil Sr.

Being a primarily high-end residential firm, Calil Architects has been able to adapt to
everchanging obstacles, including the city’s economic state and the generational preferences of
each individual client. With our designs varying in location, size, and style, reflecting the client’s
values as well as incorporating the site and its context is always at the forefront of our designs.

As a small business owner, Eduardo can give insight on what it takes to battle through the obstacles that
come with running a small firm, but also see the importance of learning from others on how to
better manage, market, and master designs.

His goal with the AIA is to build interest for small businesses with becoming involved in the
AIA, as well as helping the AIA assist small businesses with bettering their practices and furthering
their involvement in their communities.
