About Claudia Cancino

I am a Peruvian architect with a Bachelor’s degree of Architecture from the Architecture and Urban Planning School, Universidad Ricardo Palma in Lima. This was followed by additional training in Architectural Conservation at ICCROM in Rome and business administration at ESAN in Lima. I earned a Master of Science in Historic Preservation and an Advanced Certificate in Conservation from the University of Pennsylvania in 2001 and 2002 respectively. During that time, I managed the PENN conservation project for Cliff Palace, Mesa Verde National Park. I joined the Getty Conservation Institute in 2002 and I am currently a Senior Project Specialist managing the Earthen Architecture Initiative, which comprises of the Seismic Retrofitting Project in Peru, the Course on the Conservation of Earthen Architecture in Abu Dhabi UAE and Oman, and the publications of the proceedings of the Terra congress organized in June 2022 in Santa Fe, Arizona, United States. The SRP includes the implementation of retrofitting designs in three monumental sites made of earth as part of their conservation projects as well as the development of guidelines for earthen sites in seismic regions of Peru in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture of Peru. I also led the GCI project Conservation and Rehabilitation plan for the Kasbah Taourirt in Ouarzazate, Morocco; the conservation of the Cholula wall paintings, Puebla, Mexico; and, participated in the organization of two World Heritage Cities World Symposia (Cusco, Peru and Kasakistan, Russia). I am a member of the International Scientific Committee of Earthen Architectural Heritage and has published several articles in international publications.
