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. During that period, he was handed the responsibility of organizing events for the chapter. One of his key initiatives was to foster greater involvement from Chapter members in our activities.

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.

MEET THE 2025 AIA MIAMI VICE PRESIDENT Naomi Harr

MEET THE 2025 AIA MIAMI VICE PRESIDENT

Naomi Harrison is a Senior Project Manager, a licensed architect and a LEED accredited professional at MCHarry Associates, a 61-year-old Miami architectural firm specializing in public sector projects. She oversees the firms K-12 educational projects serving Miami-Dade and Broward County Schools, the nation’s 4th and 6th largest school districts.

Throughout her 25-year career, Naomi has overseen $140M in construction projects as a Senior PM or PM, and $150M as a Junior PM.

Naomi comes from very humble beginnings, born in a bamboo hut atop a mountain overlooking the waters in a small village on the island of Jamaica. Her formative years in Jamaica were filled with art and community, and from an early age she had a desire to be an architect to help build in underprivileged communities.

Through her work as co-chair of the Black Architects in the Making - BAM - program, which she helped found, she continues her sense of community by helping, inspiring, and touching other lives with her passion for architecture. Volunteering and mentoring are high priorities for Naomi; her greatest hope is to impact change in the dismal percentage of African Americans in the profession by engaging students at all age levels and all walks of life through the BAM program, but especially those of Black women in the profession who statistically face such greater obstacles to licensure.

Her weeks are filled managing multiple design and construction projects with evenings left for the various committee meetings and volunteering varying from BAM, AIA Miami, WIA, and her own personal mentorship of several high school and college students. Through her involvement in various organizations, she champions diversity, equity and inclusion in a profession she loves and knows that if others can see it, they can be it, they can do it, it indeed takes a village.

A graduate of the University of Miami School of Architecture, Naomi has made Miami her home for the past 30 years
