 In 1925 the OSA Group, also with ties to Vkhutemas, was founded by Alexander Vesnin and Moisei Ginzburg—the Organisation of Contemporary Architects.This group had much in common with Weimar Germany's Functionalism, such as the housing projects of Ernst May.Housing, especially collective housing in specially designed "dom kommuny" to replace the collectivised 19th century housing that was the norm, was the main priority of this group.
