Open House Miami returns offering look into city’s design, culture, community | Biscayne Bay Tribune#
Open House Miami (OHMIA) returns for its second annual celebration, set to showcase Greater Miami from Feb. 28 to Mar. 2, by highlighting its architectural connectivity.
Building on the success of its inaugural edition, OHMIA 2025 promises a more expansive program with new themes, experiences and immersive encounters designed to engage the community and visitors in the spirit of Greater Miami’s architectural and cultural legacy.
Once again spearheaded by the Miami Center for Architecture and Design (MCAD) in collaboration with the Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Authority (MBVCA), Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB), Miami Downtown Development Authority (DDA), Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and a network of dedicated local partners, OHMIA 2025 invites the public to explore Miami-Dade County’s unique stories, spaces and design.
This year’s festival – open free and to the public – will offer over 100 curated experiences across more than 20 neighborhoods, supported by 100-plus partners. Attendees can expect an expanded array of tours, lectures, workshops and exclusive behind-the-scenes access to some of Greater Miami’s most iconic and hidden spaces.
“There are no shortages of special places throughout Greater Miami that create an engaging background for stories about our community to be shared and celebrated,” said David Whitaker, president and CEO of the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau.
“Open House Miami and its focus on design and architecture is the perfect event to complement everything else our destination is known for – from fashion and food to culture and beaches.”
The festival will continue to explore popular themes from last year, such as Culture, Resilience, Building Miami, and Sports, while also introducing new focal points that celebrate Miami’s culture and history.
Highlights will include exclusive tours of the Kaseya Center; Museum of Graffiti; HipHop Museum; Istituto Marongoni; Frost Museum of Science; a Photo Walking Tour on Collins Avenue with Laura Paresky Gould, award-winning artist and graphic designer; a Skateboard Tour, as well as deep dives into Miami’s transformative neighborhoods and opportunities to engage with the city’s leading designers, artists, and tastemakers.
One of the new featured experiences will invite visitors to The Kampong of the National Tropical Botanical Garden, designed by Miami-based architect Max Strang, a location that is rarely open to the public.
“We are proud to support the second annual Open House Miami Festival, inviting Miami Beach’s visitors and locals to experience the architecture, art and design that continues to make our city stand out as an award-winning destination,” said Grisette Marcos, Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Authority executive director. “The hand-picked selection of interactive events, tours and discussions featuring expert personalities and talent will inspire attendees and showcase the artistic fabric of Miami Beach and the surrounding area. Travelers can start planning their trip to experience Open House Miami with assistance from our dedicated EXP Miami Beach Tours App.” The EXP Miami Beach Tours App is available on Apple and Google platforms.
Open House Miami was established in 2024, making Greater Miami the fourth U.S. destination, alongside New York, San Diego and Chicago, to join the global Open House Worldwide network. This movement celebrates architecture, design and urbanism by creating opportunities for citizens to engage with and appreciate their city’s-built environment in a way that’s transparent, inclusive and community-focused.

The Miami Heat have already made the move of the offseason by acquiring Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo in one of the biggest blockbuster deals of the decade. The move limits them financially and there are many holes on the roster at the moment due to the Heat having to part with Tyler Herro, Kel’el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Kasparas Jakucionis in the trade. However, there are plenty of players out there on the trade market and in free agency who could be strong contributors for the Heat this coming season without having to spend a lot of money. In fact, a former Heat player is reportedly on the trade block.
According to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, Cleveland Cavaliers wing Max Strus is a name to keep an eye on in the trade market.
Strus, 30, had a notable tenure with Miami prior to joining Cleveland. He originally went undrafted in the 2019 draft but was picked up as an undrafted free agent by the Boston Celtics, where he played in the Summer League that year. However, he was waived prior to the season and picked up by his hometown Chicago Bulls, where he only appeared in two games before tearing his ACL and being waived again.

After the COVID bubble, Strus joined the Heat in November 2020 on a training camp contract, which would then be converted to a two-way deal. He appeared in 39 games throughout the 2020-21 season but none of his shooting splits were particularly impressive. In the 2021-22 season, his role enlarged, starting 33 games and he shot a career-high 41 percent from three-point range. The most notable moments of Strus’ tenure, however, occurred in the 2023 Play-In tournament, where he helped the team get the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference, beginning their magical playoff run.
After that impressive playoff stretch, he signed a four-year, $63 million contract to join the Cavaliers. In Cleveland, Strus has been the total run-of-the-mill sharpshooter many expected him to be but his injuries have plagued his tenure, only playing 62 games over the last two seasons combined. Now, with the Cavaliers’ potential roster switch-up, Strus is a good candidate to be moved.
Since losing Duncan Robinson to the Detroit Pistons as part of a sign-and-trade in the 2025 offseason, the Heat have been lacking a true perimeter shooter. Although Strus showed some inconsistencies with Cleveland along with his injury woes, he is still somewhat reliable from beyond the arc. The Heat could use someone like Strus. The financials may be hard to work with but the idea is there.

Colombia wins Group K after 0-0 draw with Portugal in Miami Stadium; both teams advance to World Cup knockouts
Colombia finished the World Cup ‘s opening round as the Group K winner after playing Portugal to a scoreless draw Saturday night.
Both squads had already secured spots in the knockout stage before the match, needing only to learn their opponents for the next round.
Colombia will play Ghana, which lost 2-1 to Croatia earlier Saturday. Portugal, which entered the expanded 48-team tournament as a favorite, will face Croatia as the Group K runner-up.
Both squads put forth lively efforts. Bruno Fernandez came close to putting Portugal ahead in the first half, but was denied by Camilo Vargas. Portugal’s Diogo Costo had six saves, more than in the team’s first two matches combined.
The match played at the home stadium of the NFL’s Miami Dolphins took place in front of a sellout crowd of 64,478 that included former Colombia soccer star Carlos Valderrama, FIFA President Gianni Infantino — who sat in a suite with FBI director Kash Patel and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio — NFL quarterback Jameis Winston, NBA player Jimmy Butler, actor Matt Damon and former NFL receiver Chad Johnson.
Multiple watch parties held across South Florida to accommodate those who couldn’t secure tickets to the high-demand match, including one with thousands in attendance at the home arena of the NHL’s Florida Panthers.
