The purpose of this paper is to make clear the motive and process of Gottfried Semper's writing "Science, Industry, and Art"(1852) and the logical structure of this small book which has two groups of chapters; the first three and the second four. The motive for the former is to review the London Great Exhibition of 1851 which revealed the crisis of art brought about by the industrialization and mechanization. The motive for the latter is to make proposals for the reform of art education Henry Cole set forward after the Exhibition. Semper's critique and proposals are always based on that original idea of the infinite variety from four primordial motives, which he developed in "The Four Elements of Architecture"(1851). References to 'a practical guide to invention,' 'technical arts,' and 'style' show a new aspect of his theory toward "Der Stil"(1860-63).
