Tibor Weiner studied architecture at the Budapest Technical University . After graduating, he continued his studies at the Bauhaus in Dessau from 1929-30 under Hannes Meyer and received the Bauhaus diploma for his work “Planning a Socialist City”. He married an architecture student in Germany. Together with Meyer and a group of architects, they both moved to the Soviet Union in 1930 , where he planned the development of the industrial city of Orsk with Konrad Püschel (1907–1997) and Hans Schmidt . In 1933 he had to leave the Soviet Union and his wife died there.

From 1934 to 1936 he worked in Schmidt's architectural office in Basel , planning residential and service buildings. In 1937/38 he worked for Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky in Paris .

He returned to Europe and worked in communist Hungary in the building ministry. From 1950 Weiner was the main architect for the residential buildings of the Hungarian industrialization project in Sztálinváros (Dunaújváros) and was also a local politician there. Sztálinváros was planned as a show of power and an object of prestige for the communist party. Weiner's building plans, with facades of socialist realism , clashed with the reality of the communist economy.

Weiner was in Hungary from 1952 to 1957 editor of the architecture magazine Magyar Építőművészet (Hungarian architecture). In 1953 he received the "Ybl Miklós-díj" ( Miklós Ybl Prize).
