AB - Gottfried Semper(1803-1879) was an architect and theorist who focused on the value of materials and functions without denying the importance of esthetic forms and focusing on the connection between architecture and handcraft. This study explores how Semper's critical perspective on the Great Exhibition in 1851 and the classification of exhibits influenced the basic ideology and spatial composition of the South Kensington Museum, which opened in 1857. In 1852, Semper published a critical article on the Great Exhibition, “Science, Industry and Art”, which was not common at the time, in terms of classifying collections by material or classifying exhibition space as a part of space.
A common feature of Semper's theory is that the reason for the classification is intended not to be a fragmented typology itself but to maintain an integrated view of universality. Semper's theory states that materials and techniques are the most fundamental elements of production, but they are not designed to explore techniques or materials themselves or to explore media specificities themselves. Instead, when meeting the role of each element within a greater system such as production process, culture, history, and ethnography. It infers not an independent meaning, a norm, but a concept that is related to interactivity.
Semper's theory focuses more on the process and the way it reveals itself through structure and symbol, not function itself, unlike general prejudices that used to be perceived as focusing only on technology, materials and purposes. Therefore, the way we understand the material culture provided by Semper's theories can still lay the groundwork for a more diverse discourse to date on how to understand craft culture and the museum related.
