La construction d'un temple maçonnique, modeste ou spectaculaire, répond en réalité à un programme symbolique très codifié qui prend comme référence mythique le temple de Salomon à Jérusalem et s'élabore à partir d'un rituel complexe, puisant à de nombreux courants spirituels. Du temple égyptien ou assyrien à la tradition classique conçue comme un modèle idéal et universel, de la cathédrale médiévale au modernisme, la loge offre un éventail de références exceptionnellement large. Chaque pays, chaque obédience, chacun des courants maçonniques, contribuent à créer un panorama architectural d'une fascinante richesse.

Summary:
In this story, we meet, among others, the Boston Brahmins Jack Phillips and Nathaniel Saltonstall; the self-taught architect, carpenter and painter Jack Hall; the Finn Olav Hammarström, who had worked for Alvar Aalto; and the prolific Charlie Zehnder, who brought the lessons of both Frank Lloyd Wright and Brutalism to the Cape. Initially, these designers had no clients; they built for themselves and their families, or for friends sympathetic to their ideals. Their homes were laboratories, places to work through ideas without spending much money. The result of this ferment is a body of work unlike any other, a regional modernism fusing the building traditions of Cape Cod fishing towns with Bauhaus concepts and postwar experimentation.
