The main goals of this discipline (TGOE - TEORIA GERAL DA ORGANIZAÇÃO DO ESPAÇO/ GENERAL THEORY OF THE ORGANIZATION OF THE SPACE) is to get the students familiar with the greatest number of specific kind of spaces, as well as with the various concepts competing for its characterization: from "natural landscapes" to "humanized space", from medieval city space to contemporary one, from urban space to architectural space, from the public to the domestic ambiences.
Clarification of current areas of vocabulary (from street to road, from ceiling to roof, from roof to cover, from patio to backyard or terrace). "Hidden" personal memories of space should be called (direct and indirect experiences), as well as the encouragement of "personal discovery", particularly in what concerns the discovery of the Architecture and the City.
SEMESTER I
1. Natural space / built space
2. Site and place
3. Birth and structure of the cities
4. The building of the urban space
5. The background and the exception in the city
SEMESTER II
6. The building of the architectural space
7. Interior / exterior and public / private binomials
8. The "scale" and the different dimensions of the space
9. The light, a modeller of the space
10. The qualities of the space / A
plural world
COLLECTIVE SESSIONS (one lesson per week)
Classes of theoretical exposure (in Portuguese language) illustrated and commented with visual materials (power-point system) through ten main topics (five in each Semester).
ORIENTED TUTORIAL SESSIONS (one lesson per week)
"Practical" classes with the objective of consolidate the concepts disclosed in the collective teaching sessions (in Portuguese language, but with incursions in French or English, if necessary, to include Erasmus students): circular conversations of "inventory" of each one personal memories, viewing of films appealing to the comprehension of the space; simple exercises (some of them with a playful character), of collective or individual resolution, motivating the discussion, the dialogue, the scientific correction of the vocabulary and / or the concepts, motivating also the continuous interrogation of the different TGOE themes and the research of the answers.

Two tests (written in Portuguese language), will be offered for the assessment of knowledge, one in the end of each Semester.
The work done in practical classes or outside of the School (individual or collective) will be continuous assessment (in its various components of expression, originality, accuracy and adequacy), as well as the attendance and participation of the student(s).
The discipline of TGOE has an annual basis; so, the classification will be the average obtained from the sum of the results of the two tests with the mark proposed during the practice’ lessons (mark that, in its turn, should result from the average of the scores assigned to individual and collective work, developed during the year, still considered the penalty provided in case of lack of attendance from the student), divided by 3 (three).
The attendance, both in theoretical and practical classes, weights in the final grade, with the following criteria:
<25% (of absence): the student will not be penalized.
> 25% (of absence) and <50%: minus one (-1) point in the final classification.
> 50% (of absence): the student should not be able to finalize TGOE.*
* Will be exempted from these criteria of attendance the repeating students for whom, in terms of schedule, should be impossible to attend any of the modules (theoretical or practical) of the discipline.
A lack of attendance of a test for the assessment of knowledge, if properly justified, do not penalize the student; an unjustified absence, however, introduce a 0 (zero) in the sum for obtaining the final average. From the lack of attendance of the two tests of the year should result that the student can not be considered approved.
In the (remote) case that the two test failures could be adequately justified (illness, for example), the student will be asked to respond to a global test, in order to further discussion with the practice’ teachers the final classification.
Similarly, the non-delivery of one of the works developed in the "practical" classes, if properly justified, should not penalize the student; the unjustified failure in delivery (or participation in) any of the works, would contribute with one (or as many as the works in absence) 0 (zero) for the sum of the final average; systematic non-delivery (or non-participation at all) in the various individual and collective works of the year, will impossible the student of being approved.
It is still possible a third Test, before the end of July, for students whose final grade is 8 (eight) or 9 (nine) or for those wishing to make improvements in their final marks. The final classification, however, should be the average resulting from the sum of the new result with that one of the test witch achieved the highest rating during the year and the mark previously proposed by the practice’ classes, divided by 3 (three).
