年9月,墨西哥经历了一系列毁灭性地震,波及全国范围,不仅影响了首都,而且还影响了该国历史上,文化和*治上最重要的几个州,从莫雷洛斯州,瓦哈卡州到恰帕斯州。这场灾难的创伤无处不在,不仅遍及整个墨西哥,而且还遍及海外的墨西哥学生,包括来自哈佛大学和麻省理工学院的学生,他们沮丧地看着,并努力地将自己维持在电视,互联网,电话和印刷媒体上保持沟通畅通,并随时了解损坏情况。在背靠背混响的几天内,马萨诸塞州剑桥市的学生聚集在一起,讨论了响应或提供灾难恢复援助的潜在方法。哈佛大学校园中最活跃的学生是设计研究生院的学生,他们对建筑,基础设施,景观,历史保护以及广泛的社会平等,城市*策和规划方面的专业素养揭示了他们的力量,地震激发了他们努力积极的参与性。
