Gloria Camino was born in Cusco, Peru. She graduated from the University of Cusco with a BA and a Diploma in Architecture in 1988, and subsequently received an MA in Theory and History of Architecture from Universidad Nacional de Ingenieria (UNI) in Lima in 1990. She has taken complementary courses and attended seminars on Photogrammetry, Urban Planning for the City of Cusco, Heritage Conservation and Strategies for the Urban Rehabilitation of the City of Cusco (PNUD-UNESCO).
Ms. Camino worked at the “Instituto Nacional de Cultura” (INC) in Cusco, an institution similar to the National Trust and English Heritage in the UK. Her work on restoration has included archaeological sites such as Ollantaytambo, Machu Picchu and Chincheros, as well as historic colonial buildings such as the Monastery of St Bernardo in Cusco.
In 1990, after completing her Masters, Ms. Camino arrived in the United Kingdom to pursue a PhD (didn’t complete it due to personal circumstances). A year later, as part of her introduction to architectural practice in the UK, she started working for The Conservation Practice on the restoration of Uppark, a Georgian National Trust property heavily damaged by fire in 1989.
Ms. Camino has been invited to speak at numerous professional institutions, associations, clubs and societies, including the Royal Academy of Arts, the University of Portsmouth, the University of Bristol, the University of Cardiff, the National Trust, the Women’s Institute in Mortimer, the former Centre for International Briefing at Farnham Castle, the Portsmouth Society, the Bray Society; the British Dental Association; several Rotary Clubs including: Windsor St. George, Fareham, Marlow, Henley, Beaconsfield, Maidenhead, etc.
Her studies include a number of published articles, such as: “Una lectura Semiotica de la Huaca de los reyes” in Contextos – UNI-Peru (1990); “La Grande Arche” at La Défense, Paris, in Architectural Design (1992); “Introduction to Peruvian Architecture” in Miguel Angel Roca’s book Latin American Architecture – Academy Editions (1993).
