Özet:

With rapid developments in the technological field and the increase in the variety of durable materials, different designs have started to appear in the display methods for archaeological finds. From to experts’ opinions upon the in situ display of underwater finds, designers have begun to develop new projects, and to create sustainable designs by considering the balance of protection and use. Although many museums of underwater finds have been established in different places and for different purposes in the world, underwater museums are a very new design approach, and today there are only two examples. One of these has already been imple-mented and one is still at the project stage. Within the scope of this study, a proposal was made to design an underwater archeology mu-seum in order to exhibit the archaeological findings found underwater without bringing them to the water surface, and to provide easy access to these finds by preserving them in place. In line with this aim, the blue crab form, which is one of the important symbols of Kekova Island and its immediate surroundings, located near Demre district of Antalya province, was selected and three-dimensional modeling was performed with a biomimetric design approach in which nature is imitated as a museum form.
