Former temple of the mixed-gender Masonic order Le Droit Humain, on Rue de l'Ermitage in Ixelles, built in 1934-1935 by Fernand Bodson and Louis Van Hooveld. Its modernist design broke with the Egyptian style that had previously dominated Masonic temple architecture. Le Droit Humain used it until 1976; it then housed the Musée des Archives d'Architecture Moderne (1984-2011) and since 2012 has been 'La Loge', a space for contemporary visual art.
