#063 – Armando Uribe: From Big-Name Architecture to the Jungle of Tulum and why Slow, Sustainable Building Creates More Value

You know how some people build just houses - and others build entire worlds?

My guest today, Armando Uribe, is the kind of person who looked at the real estate game, the flashy renders, the numbers, the concrete - and said, this makes no sense. So he left it all behind, studied sustainable design in Australia, wandered through the world, and eventually landed here - in the jungle of Tulum - to completely reimagine what it means to build a home.

We’re sitting in the garden of one of those homes, deep in nature, at 35° heat, surrounded by mosquitoes - and yet, it somehow feels peaceful.

We talk about what went wrong in Tulum’s rapid development, how he’s protecting Mexico’s ancient underground rivers with low-tech water systems, and why he believes architecture should feel more like a symphony than a spreadsheet.

This episode is about care: for people, a place, and the planet.
