Abstract:
The study focuses on the ways in which the military lifestyle changes the level of interaction with the built environment. The
issues addressed deal with the notion of adaptation and attachments to a place. The nature of the military is one of constant change and movement, therefore the relationship of place is one that is temporary. The city of Hinesville, Ga is inherently dependent on the populations of Fort Stewart and visa versa. This dynamic relationship in combination with the constant rotations of the Army has left Hinesville with a sense of transient inhabitation. The solution is to create an environment which invokes a sense of belonging for a community of people who have essentially been “uprooted” and relocated.

Abstract:
How does a city simulate permanence? More specifically, How can the city of Hinesville provide the stability a family unit requires to feel “at home” and established? The work means to give an inexplicable identity to the city of Hinesville and to celebrate the sense of place as well as its connection to a greater network.
