Geopoetics offers a scientific, philosophical and poetic unified approach to knowledge construction, being a pertinent field to support new interpretative products for federal protected areas (UC) in Brazil. The preliminary study for a research base in the “Raso da Catarina” Ecological Station (Paulo Afonso - BA region) illustrates a design stance that opposes the current architectural trend that leads to the implantation of buildings which seeks to configure themselves as a “brand” in the landscape. On the contrary, acting geopoetically, we want to materialize the building as an “outbreak” of the expressive forces of Nature in that place, the landscape that will receive it, conceiving a building integrated with the place as much as possible . Such a Geopoetics outbreak goes beyond and interweaves Architecture with poems and songs, as languages that complement and nurture themselves as translations of the Brazilian semiarid landscapes, with the aim of promoting a social enchantment for our protected areas. Making Art an environmental management tool and structuring the promotion of enchantment as a public policy are ways suggested here to reconcile contemporary society with the natural environments.
