Result of the Visit Built by Brazil to Florida, held in June 2022, with the participation of the president of AsBEA-SP, Milene Abla, and the president and VP of AsBEA-BR, Danilo Batista and Miriam Addor, the agreement was conceived together with the then president of AIA Miami, Craig Aquart.
Since then, Built by Brazil has promoted meetings with representatives of AIA Miami led by Brazilian architects based in Miami, Elizabeth Camargo (former director of AIA Miami), Heloísa Perrone and Adriana Schonhofen, who coordinates the project on the AIA side.
The objectives of the group of Brazilian architects in Miami resulting from the MOU are international cooperation between Brazilian architects and urban planners, in Brazil and in Miami, on the topics: professional networking, exchange of technical information and international business structuring.
