Leve Kanpe!

05.2011

We have just come back from Press Passing the book 'Leve Kanpe' – a photographic monograph by John McAslan + Partners. The book tells the story of rebuilding the Iron Market in Port-au-Prince.

Decimated by a 2008 fire and the 2010 earthquake, the Iron Market in Port-au-Prince, originally built in 1891, is a cultural, historic and architectural landmark in Haiti. Its location in the centre of the city means it is a significant commercial and social hub. JMP was appointed to rebuild and restore the market in time for it to re-open on the first anniversary of January 2010's earthquake.

All proceeds from the sale of the monograph are being used to support the homeless of Port-au-Prince
