Add article description

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).
