COHEN HOUSE Johannesburg (Forest Town), South Africa, 1985 The Cohen House was a house with vaults and all of it in faced brick, outside and inside. When it was put to tender, the contractors quoted astronomical sums. So, I arranged for a Portuguese brick layer who built it perfectly. He worked with the help of young illegal Mozambicans who had fled the various wars in Mozambique. Guedes, Amancio; Guedes, Pedro & Museu Colecçäo Berardo.
