Sydney-based industrial designer Adam Goodrum designed a transparent miniature houses that are exhibited at the National Gallery of Victoria until 7 February 2016. Goodrum's work also received the $30,000 Rigg Design Prize for 2015 and it's the first prized-design exhibited at the Victoria. Goodrum calls his work as ''Unfolding'', is inspired by the concept of a flatpack house made of panels. Several miniature houses actually are the representation of a foldable house. These transparent miniatures made with transparent acrylic panels that have been coated with dichroic film. The film splits the light spectrum, which allows the transparent objects to cast colourful shadows onto the gallery walls.

“Unfolding represents a new expression of my practice and my continued exploration of the idea of ‘unfolding,’” Goodrum said. The prizes international judges, Wava Carpenter (former curator of Design Miami) and Gijs Bakker (co-founder of Droog Design) described the design as “very exciting, pushing the boundaries of what design can be with its dreamy, hazy and poetic atmosphere.” mentioned in ArchitectureAU.
