The Marché en Fer is an iconic building in Haiti. Closed as a result of Haiti’s devastating earthquake it reopened within a year following a painstaking programme of conservation and repair by John McAslan + Partner's (JMP's) award-winning Historic team. Saving the Iron Market has restored an important resource for the people of Haiti, allowing traders to revive their businesses, and providing a catalyst for regeneration of the wider market area. In addition, reconstruction work provided significant employment, allowing workers to develop a range of valuable skills. Working in close liaison with ISPAN, Haiti’s Institute for the Safeguarding of National Heritage, repair was carried out in accordance with conservation best practice, as expounded in the Charters of ICOMOS, the International Council on Monuments and Sites. Damaged elements of the south market were salvaged and repaired while the replacement north market was reconstructed in a manner sympathetic to the original JMP's sensitive approach has ensured that this important building will maintain its status as a key destination and resource in Port-au-Prince for the 21st century and beyond.
