2. Summary of Our Project
In the second place, the conflict is a beautiful force. The old warehouses that were dusted by history have condensed various signs of development because the cries of art and culture have been liberated. They have continuously infused creative ideas and regained their new life. In the conflict between old and new, it is the vitality that bursts.
Located in the art district of the warehouse complex next to the wharf, there are not only vehicles but also ships entering and exiting. It is not just the crowds but also the sea breeze. The broad horizons of Haitian are just like the vast and unblemished thoughts. In the conflict between land and sea, the broad future is dazzling.
Although the public sector responsible for operation and management and the unrestrained artists embrace their dreams, they will coordinate with each other in this field, rectify their direction and move toward a common ideal. In the conflicts between the executive and the art, they have formed close partners and constructed the image of Ref.2 in the hearts of everyone.

4. Problems We Had To Overcome
The first problem is because of the huge amount of our school assignments, we were too busy to do this project. We were afaid of not finishing the project in time as well as almost missed the due date. Secondly, we had the less same time to interview people who work at Pier-2, and it was hard for us to arrange available time getting together and discussing project. The last is that sometimes we had to do the project at school at noon so we couldn’t take a rest and it was difficult to concentrate on the following classes. Solution: We divided our project into several parts. Everyone charged the parts respectively. After finishing those parts, we combined them into a project, then our teachers would check it out. Also, we had a line group. We could propose our ideas and opinions anytime as well as discuss everywhere.

They have also devoted to raising public awareness of Environmental Art protection by learning from taking lessons. We hope that through the introduction of this project, we can spread Pier-2’s spirit and ideal to all over the world.
