At a time of unprecedented rainforest destruction, it might seem strange that construction could be a viable way to combat it. Case in point: Erica and Matt Hogan’s completely sustainable treehouse community, Finca Bellavista. Equipped with dining halls, bath houses, campfire rings and even a wifi zone, the appearance of this 21st century community within timeless tree canopies has effectively prevented the degradation of 600 acres of sacred Costa Rican rainforest. My Modern Met has some more great images if you’d like to take a gander at this Costa Rican “crusoe”.

Classic statues can often be some of the most difficult art to enjoy, if not simply due to the medium-related fact that, despite the obvious technical ingenue exhibited by their creators, they don’t exhibit much character and are incredibly challenging for the viewer to relate to. That’s why when photographer Leo Caillard teamed up with retoucher Alexis Persani to remake classic statues donning contemporary street gear, philistines and fun-loving art fiends could rejoice. As evidenced in Behance’s gallery, Rodin works are more relatable than ever and we can’t get enough of it.
