Overview

The Loge du Droit Humain was built in 1934 by architects Fernand Bodson and Louis Van Hooveld. The sober ochre-brick façade features a sophisticated structure. The irregular corner plot also inspired the architects in the interior layout, with the use of chamfered corners and oblique perspectives, accompanied by the refined use of materials, such as terrazzo flooring decorated with black mosaics featuring symbolic motifs. In 1984, the lodge became an archive and study centre, and later the Musée des Archives d’Architecture Moderne (AAM). Following alterations, the building was restored between 2001 and 2002 by architect Elie Levy together with Brussels-based Ekla Architects & Designers. In 2012, it was converted into La Loge, a space dedicated to visual arts, architecture and theory. It hosts exhibitions and events designed to foster dialogue between audiences and speakers, whether they be artists, architects or thinkers. Alongside the guided presentation, visitors will also be able to discover an exhibition by contemporary artist Inas Halabi. The venue will remain freely accessible outside the guided tours. Reservations essential for guided tours (FR/NL/EN) on Saturday and Sunday from 10.00 am to 1.45 pm. Self-guided tour of the La Loge building and exhibition, open Saturday and Sunday from 1.00 pm to 6.00 pm. Reservation not required. Photographs are permitted, but without a flash.
