This research was initiated as an investigation about the afterlife of the prodigious amount of rejections witnessed post-firing process at ceramic industries in India.

To further expand the optimization of application development of this waste, inspiration was drawn from Asian culture where a natural way of life was designed to reuse and recycle materials for longevity. The key idea about recycling fired ceramics was to be able to reuse the waste for multiple production cycles instead of using it once and in turn, generating more untreatable waste at the end of its lifecycle. To realize this vision, recycling was carried out as a mono‐material making it a 100% recyclable material. This paper, along with offering a corporeal solution to the material crisis intends to offer an initial nudge to open up conversations about waste pertaining to materials other than plastic and water, thus making a direct positive impact under SDG12.

Publishing with RSD

Proceedings of Relating Systems Thinking and Design are published online and include the contributions for each format.

Papers and presentations are entered into a single-blind peer-review process, meaning reviewers see the authors’ names but not vice versa. Reviewers consider the quality of the proposed contribution and whether it addresses topics of interest or raises relevant issues in systemic design. The review process provides feedback and possible suggestions for modifications.

The Organising Committee reviews and assesses workshops and systems maps & exhibits with input from reviewers and the Programme Committee.

The scholar’s spiral

In 2022, the Systemic Design Association adopted the scholar's spiral—a cyclic non-hierarchical approach to advance scholarship—and in 2023, launched Contexts—The Systemic Design Journal. Together, the RSD symposia and Contexts support the vital emergence of supportive opportunities for scholars and practitioners to publish work in the interdisciplinary field of systemic design.

The Systemic Design Association's membership ethos is to co-create the socialization and support for all members to contribute their work, find feedback and collaboration where needed, and pursue their pathways toward research and practice outcomes that naturally build a vital design field for the future.
