In this edition of Blueprint For Living, RMIT's Robyn Healy reflects on the life and many legacies of the Japanese designer, Issey Miyake.

Then hear how and why the figure of the little boy peeing (aka the Puer Mingins motif) continues to reappear in fountains. Architectural historian Amy Boyington has the story.

Plus, Annie Smithers give us the complete lamington collection, and Colin Bisset introduces you to the man who is credited with the home design catalogue.
