Austrian Association for Settlements and Small Gardens

The Austrian Settlement and Allotment Garden Association (German: Österreichischer Verband für Siedlungs- und Kleingartenwesen, OVSK) was an organisation established following the First World War to support people in need of housing and the allotment movement principally in and around Vienna.

[1] The organisation was founded by Otto Neurath in 1921.

[2] OVSK was the basis for the Museum für Siedlung und Städtebau ('Museum for Settlement and Town Planning').

[2] Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky described her experiences working for the OVSK in her book Warum ich Architektin wurde (Why I Became an Architect).
