P R T F L I TONG LIU 2020 CANDIDATE CLEMSON UNIVERSITY MASTER OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
PROFILE
I am a third-year master of landscape architecture student at Clemson University. My strong passion of design and love of nature make me treat landscape architecture as life-long study and career field. I believe that for a design to be great, it should not only solve the existing problems but also achieve the largest site potential to the public.

RESEARCH EXTENTION
VALUE & VISION
EXTENTION PROGRAM
The Morrill Acts funded educational institutions by granting federally controlled land to the states for them to sell, to raise funds, to establish and endow “land-grant” colleges. The new mission of these institutions is to develop the extension programs for cross-disciplinary research to solve exsiting issues, such as global warming, wildlife conservation, etc.

Clemson University historically used this site as a research field to study wetland and plants. By thinking through the most important issue of the site: water quality, research support and the recreational and educational needs of the students and local communities, the three concepts of this design are: Renewal, Reservation and Regeneration.

The Wetland Modules have multiple benefits including plant support, habitat creation, water quality management and erosion control. The interlocking components provide flexibility to fulfill both research and recreational needs. Once established, the plants and clay printed modules will enter a natural growth and decomposure process. This creates a research process that can be seen, interacted with and studied. With time, the plants will form colonies with very low maintenance, and the clay printed modules will decompose to the soil. The whole system will gradually transfer into a natural ecosystem.
