Principal Mark Wamble received a Bachelor of Environmental Design from Texas A&M University and a Master of Architecture from the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University. In 1997, Wamble cofounded Interloop Architecture (IA), an architecture research practice in Houston, Texas.

Prior to IA, Wamble worked as a Project Designer with Eisenman Architects in New York (1983-1991) and was on the design team for the Wexner Center for the Visual Arts at Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio (1983-1991). While with Eisenman Architects, Wamble also developed a line of textiles for Knoll International (1990-1991), was Project Architect on the Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, Ohio (1988-1993), was Project Architect on three office buildings in Tokyo, Japan (1988-1992), and with his team, Mark designed the winning scheme for the Rebstockpark Competition in Frankfort, Germany (1990-1991). In 1990 Wamble returned to Texas, and in 1994 formed Interloop Architects, combining his interest in research and practical experience. Wamble developed Gardiner Symonds Teaching Labs 1 & 2, a series of technology based teaching facilities for Rice University. During the early 1990s Mark was selected for 40 under 40, and later that same year won the Young Architect Award given annually by the Architecture League of New York. Mark Wamble was Design Principal at Bricker + Cannady Architects in Houston (1997-2001), continuing to research and practice throughout this time period with partner Dawn Finley. While at BCA, Mark produced the design for the Renovation of Jones Plaza in Downtown Houston, which won an AIA award and a PA Award both in 1999.

Wamble combines professional practice with teaching architecture design. He has taught at Rice University School of Architecture since 1990, and is a visiting instructor at the University of Michigan, Harvard University, and Columbia University.
