This would include the intellectual property rights of Barragan's archive. When Luis Barragan, considered by any to be the most acclaimed Mexican architect of all time, died in 1988, his personal archive and his architecture remained in Mexico, but his professional archive which contained thousands of drawings, negatives, models, was sold. While this film received outstanding reviews from pro critics, I found it to be one of the weirdest and most bizarre documentaries that I've seen in quite a while. This reveals the scientific relevance of his contribution to the knowledge of soils.Reviewed by larrys3 4 / 10 Bizarre Documentary His papers have more than 2,795 citations with a Hirsch-index of 30. He has shared his science with colleagues from more than 68 institutions from more than 23 countries. In 35 years devoted to soil science research Torrent has published more than 145 original papers in 50 peer review journals ( SCI) about soil science, geosciences, agronomy, astronomy, etc, 9 book chapters, and 2 books. His contributions about processes controlling oxides formation in soils and in Mars surface are of great interest. In fact, his studies contributed to understand the efficiency of applied iron or phosphate fertilizer, to develop new low-cost efficient fertilizers (5 patents of invent), and to produce accurate methods to estimate available phosphorus and iron to plants in soils. Some of Torrent’s research has helped to explain main factors affecting iron and phosphate dynamics in soils of Mediterranean environments, in particular in calcareous soil, and produced advances in scientific knowledge and a theoretical support to people working in agriculture. His contributions in the field of soil mineralogy, soil chemistry, and soil fertility are of great scientific relevance as it can be concluded from the number of citations that received many of his papers and the number of researchers that worked with him. These studies have been performed with soils from many areas of the World ( USA, Brazil, China, Syria), but particularly from European Mediterranean countries (Spain and Italy). His long career as researcher has been mainly focussed on the mineralogy of iron oxides, and the iron and phosphorus biogeochemical cycle in the soil-plant system. He has spent his life as professor of Soil Science in the University of Córdoba. José Torrent was born in Barcelona (Spain) in 1945.

José Torrent for his contribution on the mineralogy of iron oxides and the iron and phosphorus biogeochemical cycle in the soil-plant system. The 2012 Philippe Duchaufour Medal is awarded to
