This project was inspired by the form and essence of the pencil, as symbolized by this historic building, constructed during the era of Japanese rule, and which, after one hundred years, remains as good as new. Having served over the years as a pillar of educational strength, today this building continues to stand tall and straight like a pencil. The five petals at the base are inlayed with colored ceramic mosaics, signifying that 100-year old Da Tung school has kept abreast with the times; employing the latest innovative educational concepts to countless students of talent, and in the process freeing their gifts and enabling them to blossom like flowers. The images of vivacious butterflies perched on the pencil are remarkable for their variegated colors. Their spreading wings reflect the happy, lively spirits of children and their limitless dreams for the future. Moreover, they symbolize the school’s role in cultivating the inner quality and spiritual growth of students by the introduction of arts, humanities, and innovation. Under the guidance and inspiration of school principles, the intellect and potential of the students are quickly stimulated and henceforth bloom.
