This paper is exploring the benefits and assets of an educational experiment without clear ownership. More specifically, it is about a form of democracy of doing in almost all the phases of a continuous exercise in the WTC1-tower in Brussels. An unintended lack of control over the different event processes led to a curious form of critical thinking about the “context” for architectural ‘schooling’, which is generally understood as necessary. The very special experiment contains many more elements than anyone could have foreseen.

Purpose The Victorian School of Languages began on the margins of the Victorian education system in 1935 as a “special experiment” supported by the Chief Inspector of Secondary Schools, J.A Seitz. The purpose of this paper is to present a historical analysis of the first 15 years of the “special experiment” and it reports on the school’s fragile beginnings. Design/methodology/approach The historical analysis draws on archival materials, oral sources and other primary documents from the first 15 years of the Saturday language classes, to explore its fragile role and status within the Victorian education system. Findings The Saturday language classes were experimental in nature and were initially intended to pilot niche subjects in the languages curriculum. Despite support from influential stakeholders, widespread interest and a promising response from teachers and students, the student enrolments dwindled, especially in the war years. As fate would have it, the two languages initially established (Japanese and Italian) faced a hostile war environment and only just survived. Questions about the continuing viability of the classes were raised, but they were championed by Seitz. Originality/value To date, this is one of few scholarly explorations of the origins of the Victorian School of Languages, a school which became a model for Australia’s other State Specialist Language Schools. This paper contributes to the literature about the VSL, a school that existed on the margins but played a pioneering role in the expansion of the language curriculum in Victoria.

Comprehensive Study

The article describes the analysis of the operation of existing production facilities for the extraction and processing of deposits. The study of the effective functioning of the natural-technical system in the extraction of a useful component of deposits is an extremely urgent and promising task. The purpose of the research is to study the object of the natural-technical system and determine the type of static ventilation characteristics. The tasks will be solved on the basis of a comprehensive study of the object of the natural-technical system. Experimental data necessary for constructing static characteristics associated with conducting a special experiment on the production site that violates the normal mode of ventilation is obtained. The research and development of a method for determining the static characteristics of ventilation objects, according to normal operation, which are obtained without interrupting the technological process of extracting the useful component.

The Mathematical Model

In tests presented in the paper the authors made use of M.M. Chruščov’s concept of determining linear wear intensity Ih in model systems operating under constant load in which the contact stresses decrease in the effect of wear. They elaborated the mathematical model binding vertical approach of samples in four ball apparatus equipped with the three rollers – cone couple with rollers wear trace dimension. The model was verified in the special experiment obtaining a very good convergence of results of calculations and the experiment.
