Join me in a conversation with Robert Jamison, a pioneering architect known for the BBC/Netflix show “Your Home Made Perfect”. Robert offers an insight into his life, and how yoga plays a central part of his daily routine and well-being. And we talk about how the convenience of 21st century building and architecture is engineering movement out of our lives, and the various ways we can address this (including the squat toilet!). Robert has a unique perception of space, which inspires possibility, and challenges the norm.
