Armando Uribe
Mexico City, 1975
Architect and founder of Weave Lab and Pura Tulum. After studying architecture in Mexico, he moved abroad in his late twenties to explore how design can generate lasting value and well-being for both people and the planet. Between 2003 and 2005, he earned two master’s degrees: one in Sustainable Design in Sydney and another in Urbanism, Housing Laboratory for the 21st Century, in Barcelona, while conducting fieldwork in Asia, Europe, and Mexico.
From 2005 to 2010, he worked as an architect and developer on three housing projects in Mexico City. In 2010, he took on the Directorship of the Master’s Program in Sustainable Architecture at the Universidad del Medio Ambiente (UMA) in Valle de Bravo, where he promoted innovative academic practices focused on personal growth, deep ecology, and specialized design methodologies. During this period, he deepened his exploration of the connections between being, territory, place, culture, and ecology, in Mexico, Europe, and Japan.
In 2014, he founded Wave Development Lab, now Weave Lab, a collaborative research and practice studio based in Tulum. By 2018, he launched Pura Tulum, the first in a series of “Peaceful Places,” a model that integrates human-centered design, ecological restoration, human development, and economic value as a unified result.
