Monografías de Arquitectura y Vivienda dedicates its twenty-seventh issue to Oscar Tusquets.

The multiple facets of the life and work of Oscar Tusquets make him a unique and attractive character. Enfant terrible in his most youthful times, ironic follower of Venturi's “gentle manifesto” in favor of a complex and contradictory architecture, and now a firm defender of the figurative forms of traditional composition, Tusquets has left behind a trail of hidden controversies. Many of those who admired him now view him with a certain suspicion. But this is a trait common to all unusual personalities.

Juli Capella and Quim Larrea, his unofficial biographers, offer us a juicy portrait of the Tusquets character that helps clarify some peculiarities of his figure. Josep Muntañola frames the architecture of Tusquets, Díaz y Asociados in the current panorama, making an analysis of their latest projects and achievements. Finally, Andres Duany proposes Tusquets' pragmatism as a model to follow in a Europe still loaded with ideology.
