Wooden Barbarian Sculpture from Clash Royale and Clash of Clans at the Lobby of Supercell Headquarters in Helsinki, Finland / SML.20220922.IPH13.09870

            “Great architecture is not only about creating beautiful spaces, but also about creating spaces that inspire and uplift people.” — I. M. Pei

I. M. Pei (Ieoh Ming Pei) is one of my favorite architects of all time. I have watched a documentary about him years ago, and he also mentioned something along the lines of “the building doesn’t come alive until the people come inside”.

That highly paraphrased and possibly misquoted quote touched me, for that’s how I feel about apps and websites — you can design an app for a long time, but you don’t get to experience it until users start interacting with it.

This photo is a sculpture of a Barbarian, seen in games like Clash Royale and Clash of Clans, at the lobby of Supercell Headquarters in Helsinki. The Supercell HQ was famously built completely in wood, which has the nickname “Wood City”. 

I don’t know which artist created the sculpture, but it brings the same excitement and energy as the characters in the game. 

This was taken during CRL World Finals 2022, when creators (aka mostly YouTubers) around the world were invited to visit the office and enjoy the event.
