Fabric Architect LLC was founded in 2014. The company was started by Architect Sam Armijos after 14 years working for Fabritec Structures and USA Shade and Miriam Armijos who was a Program Manager at a TV and radio station in the New York City Metropolitan Area.
For Sam, the Fabric Structure industry has been a part of his life since his college days in Architecture School. A graduate of Rensselaer (RPI) and New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), Sam discovered the world of lightweight structure backpacking in Europe and visiting the Munich Olympic village by Frei Otto.
With over 30 years of experience working with U.S., German, British and Australian companies on getting large scale fabric structures built, Sam found there is a need for designers and builders of small to medium size fabric structures.
