Vision
An Architecture of Community is the long-range vision for Joint Base Charleston. This is a vision of excellence displayed in a high-quality corporate image for facilities, the landscape, and the environment. It is founded on an understanding and respect for the local architectural character and creating compatible, responsive designs. Architectural compatibility and Community can be achieved by understanding the vision for Joint Base Charleston and by implementing a design vocabulary. Successful examples of high quality facilities, landscaping, and streetscapes that exist at the base and at other military installations are presented in this Architectural Compatibility Plan (ACP). These examples depict the new design standards that will bring about compatibility and achieve the vision of excellence.

introduction
The Architectural Compatibility Plan (ACP) defines a clear design vocabulary to be used throughout JBC, providing specific standards to be observed in all aspects of exterior design. Compatible architecture is accomplished with buildings that are similar, but also through the use of common design forms, details, materials, site features, and streetscapes.
Quality and compatibility are achieved through creating a unified visual environment that is based on an Architecture of Community, similar to a campus or small town. The principal design goal is to direct development at Joint Base Charleston toward a livable, attractive, and cohesive installation. The ACP provides the design standards that will help to build compatible facilities and a quality environment. Implementation of the standards will result in the creation of community.

Purpose

How to Use This Plan

The purpose of the ACP is to define design
standards for buildings, site development,
and streetscapes that serve to integrate the
visual character throughout the base.

The ACP defines general and specific design standards for any site and all buildings.

The ACP will help ensure consistent quality
design decisions by commanders, planners, architects, engineers, maintenance staff, and residents. It promotes clear,
concise communication between Joint
Base Charleston as the client and design
professionals.
This plan applies to self-help initiatives,
small projects, and operations and maintenance activities as well as large construction efforts. The ACP is referenced from and supports
the Joint Base Charleston Master Plan and
