The main objective of this work is to reflect on space organization in Conservation Unities, and how building concepts and equipment can improve the visitors conception of the environment. Initial ideas of better space organization for the “Parque Botânico do Morro do Baú” – a Conservation Unity located in the State of Santa Catarina – are presented. These ideas are based on the research “Arquitetura em Unidades de Conservação: critérios para implementação de elementos construídos no Parque Botânico do Morro do Baú”, already implemented by the authors. From this research, an updated diagnosis of the “Parque Botânico do Morro do Baú”, was analysed, from which was possible to elaborate an environmental planning study for it. This study has recognized the inadequate structure of public visitation, which is spoiling the opportunity the visitor has to understand and be in contact with the true conservation objectives of the park, and as a result, degrading its natural and cultural patrimony.
