The Harvard Graduate School of Design Dean's visit to Nafplio was completed with great success. Starting her visit from CHS Greece, Dean Sarah M. Whiting had the opportunity to tour the Center's premises, hear about our ongoing activities and discuss future collaborations with the CHS Greece team.

Afterward, she delivered a lecture entitled "Dynamic Wholes" at the Municipality of Nafplio's Vouleutiko, organized by the University of Patras Department of Architecture in collaboration with CHS Greece, under the auspices of the Municipality of Nafplio, and supported by Achilleas and Costantza Constantakopoulou. A large number of students from Patras as well as the public from the city of Nafplio crowded the historic hall to listen to the lecture. The city's Mayor Dimitrios Orfanos extended a warm welcome to Dean Whiting on behalf of the city of Nafplio, and Professor Yannis Aesopos, Chair of the Patras Department of Architecture, moderated the event and the discussion that followed.

The visit concluded with a lunch for the faculty from the University of Patras, representatives from the Municipality of Nafplio and the Center, completing the excellent cooperation between all the institutions involved that worked together to organize the visit.
