Oscar Tusquets Blanca is liberal with olive oil. We’re having lunch at his house in Barcelona, and as he pours it onto his sea bass, it catches the light. The architect, who works mostly on larger-scale urban and cultural projects across Europe, also designs private homes such as this one, a modern construction with a neo-classical twist. Behind Tusquets hang a watercolour with a simple sketch by Dalí, a life-sized drawing of an ant dedicated to Oscar in the surrealist’s scrawl and a photoshop collage with a superimposed image of Dalí floating through the air.
