ENID, Okla. Few people have sculpted the Enid landscape like architect Ken Corbin.
It only seems appropriate that such an accomplished architect be nominated as one of four finalists for the Pillar of the Plains award.
The Enid News & Eagle, along with community partners, created the Pillar of the Plains award to honor local people who have been active in the community. These individuals have taken on tasks and projects to better the quality of life in our community. Other finalists are Gail Wynne, Mary Lassiter-Porter and Dr. Barbara Whinery.
The Pillar of the Plains reception is 5:30-7 p.m. Jan. 9 at Convention Hall.
Corbin was born and raised in Kingfisher, where he graduated from high school. He received his degree from Oklahoma State University before serving two years in the Army, one of those years in Vietnam.
Enid has been a good community to be in, and were appreciative to the community, Corbin said.
Over the years, Corbin has designed numerous projects across Enid and the state, about half public builds and the other private businesses.
His work is on display at David Allen Memorial Ballpark, Denny Price Family YMCA, Chisholm Trail Expo Center, Enid Police Departments station and equipment building, Enid Animal Control Shelter, Randolph walkway, the original Golden Oaks, Commons Continuum of Care, United Methodist Home, Enid Fire Department Station 4, the Thelma J. Gungoll Youth and Family Center, The Non-Profit Center downtown and Wymer Brownlee.
He designed the Ames Astrobleme Museum, the Fairview Municipal Building and Our Daily Bread.
Corbin also created the remodel of the Garfield County Courthouse, the StarTek building, Leonardos Discovery Warehouse master plan, the Junior Welfare League remodel and the fourth-floor surgery center at Integris Bass Baptist Health Center.

An ever-changing landscape that brings life to the city before it is built, and nature that cleans pollution, creates new communities and provide amenity value for all. That is the fundamental idea behind the development of a temporary, recreational landscape as a precursor to the overall urban development of a new city in Denmark that is now in the finals of one of the worlds most prestigious urban development awards, the World Smart Cities Awards 2013.

Dec. 19, 2013 A UT Arlington landscape architect and his graduate students have published three case studies for the 2013 Case Study Investigation Series for the Landscape Architecture Foundation that help show environmental, economic and social benefits of notable projects in that sector.
The case studies analyze the benefits of Klyde Warren Park in Dallas, the University of Texas at Dallas Campus Landscape Plan and Buffalo Bayou Promenade in Houston. In the case of Klyde Warren Park, the research team said the park has contributed to increased property values for nearby property, increased physical activity among patron and helps reduce carbon dioxide in its urban setting.
Taner zdil, an associate professor of landscape architecture and associate director for the Center for Metropolitan Density, was named a fellow of the Landscape Architecture Foundation this year. He directed the studies as part of the foundation's Landscape Performance Series, an online, interactive set of resources and tools that help designers, agencies and advocates make the case for sustainable landscape solutions.
"There is a growing call to explain the impact of landscape architecture and what it does," said zdil, whose team included landscape architecture master candidates Sameepa Modi and Dylan Stewart. "We are a part of that call."
Each project was noteworthy for the way it creates a sense of place and asserts economic viability within its context, zdil said. Researchers said they hope that the knowledge and lessons discovered through examination of these landmark projects will inform future landscapes in other urbanizing areas.
Don Gatzke, dean of the UT Arlington School of Architecture, said that establishing value for public projects such as parks is a relatively new area of research and study for the design community.
"The world will begin to use this area of study more and more as entities try to tell public and private shareholders what a project is worth," Gatzke said. "We're ecstatic that Dr. zdil is a leader in this area of study in its beginning stages."
In the case of Klyde Warren Park, zdil and his team showed that 69 percent of park users surveyed said visiting the park increased their outdoor activity. The case study also showed that the park mitigates 18,500 pounds of carbon dioxide annually through newly planted trees.
Another finding showed increases in property values near the park. The nearby 21-story 2000 McKinney Tower saw a 65 percent increase in value for 2013 compared with 2008 values, for example.
The case studies of Buffalo Bayou Promenade and the UT Dallas plan measured similar criteria.

Landscape architecture study places value on Klyde Warren Park, other urban spaces
When architect Drew Heath returned to Sydney after visiting Angkor, he mulled over how he could remodel his grandiose home. The house he created recently won the 2013 National Award for Residential Architecture. Cecelia Marshall heard how he did it.
The temples at Angkor have inspired travellers from all corners of the globe for generations from the first explorers to modern-day poets, artists, and musicians. But few decide to try to recreate them at home. Drew Heath, an Australian architect, first visited Cambodia five years ago as a tourist and came away from the ancient structures with an unusual plan. Last month, his $9 million Angkor-inspired home in Sydney won the 2013 National Award for Residential Architecture House.
At home, the 44 year-old runs the Drew Heath Architects firm, mostly doing residential home designs with illustrious gardens. But his schedule regularly takes him abroad to visit some of the worlds greatest architectural wonders: the mountaintop Greek Acropolis is one of his favourites.
This is the first time I fully embraced the landscape
With each trip, he takes away a different idea, he said in a Skype interview. But Angkor Wat was different. The sight of the once-forgotten temples overtaken by jungle an image of man cohabiting with nature offered an aha moment for Heath.
When he returned from Cambodia, he set to work on a new and personal project: one that would bring the outside into his own home.
The project, which he alone conceived and designed, took three years and involved four builders. His wife and four kids aged between two and 14 lived inside the incomplete house while construction took place. It didnt matter, he said, since the theme of the house was incompletion. This is the first time I fully embraced the landscape, he said. Its almost like living outdoors.
Various rooms of the home are on different levels of space. There isnt a basic ground floor, first and second. Climb a couple of steps, and youre in the living room where a giant window opens up to the outside and you can see the kitchen down the hallway. This type of layering is borrowed from the temples and offers privacy and enclosure but also openness and a certain vulnerability to the outside elements.
The name of the house, Tir na ng, comes from his wifes Irish background. In an ancient Gaelic childrens tale, Tr na ng means other worldly place. With this in mind, Heath wanted to create an otherworldly place of eternal youth and timeless jungle against timeless ruin, he said.
Heath said that the house incorporates his emotive response to visiting the temples. PHOTO SUPPLIED
