This oral presentation unpacked the design concept BatchBOX as a means to explore and examine discourses regarding issues of identity and the changing cultural and physical landscapes, focusing on the New Zealand family holiday home.

Fersterer, C. (2007) Batchbox and Slip Cast Tea Pots. Re-MIX, group exhibition, Salisbury House Gallery, Dunedin. 28 Sept - 11 October, 5 pieces. This exhibition was initiated and primarily organised by me and was intended to showcase the work being done by Otago Polytechnic product design students and lecturers. I included two different works. The ceramic work were 4 slipcast teapots that I developed to introduce alternative casting methods and materials into the product-design program. Secondly BatchBOX, a design concept model and poster, is a shipping container dwelling that was later developed as a paper for conference presentation in Spokane, Washington State, USA.
