Biography

Born on 26 May 1942 in Villa Dolores, Gramática studied architecture at the National University of Córdoba, graduating in 1965. Two years later, she began to collaborate with the architects Juan Carlos Guerrero, Jorge Morini, José Pisani and Eduardo Urtubey, all of whom she had met at university. In 1967, they five founded the architectural firm GGMPU. They ran the firm together until 1971, when they founded COPSA. In 1995, COPSA's activities were again transferred back to GGMPU. Gramática and Morini are married and have had children together.
Faced with the financial crisis in Argentina, in 2002, together with Morini, Pisani and Urtubey, Gramática founded GMPU S.L. in Málaga, Spain. The firm designed residential buildings on the Mediterranean coast until 2011. From 2006, Gramática collaborated on a number of projects with her son, Lucio Morini. In 2013, GGMPU and GMPU S.L. ceased to exist, their activities being taken over by MCM y Asociados in which Gramática is still active.
Among GGMPU's completed projects in Argentina are Casa en el Lago in Villa Carlos Paz and a number of buildings in Córdoba including Nazareth III, Palacio de Justicia II and the extension to the Museo de Bellas Artes Emilio Caraffa. In collaboration with Lucio Morini, the Centro Civico, Córdoba, was completed in 2012.
