Architect’s floating igloos would protect penguins and cool sea ice

The video discusses Sajjad Navidi's penguin protection system designed to safeguard penguins and manage polar ice melting in Antarctica. The system includes a warming igloo and an underwater section powered by a pendulum. It was part of a competition by the Jacques Ruggieri foundation and ranked seventh in the innovation for the sea category. The igloo offers a safe space for penguins, inspired by their huddling behavior, while the lower portion, inspired by sea sponges, generates electricity to cool ice shelves. The system is adaptive, moving towards melting ice areas.
