At this juncture, it is imperative to find alternative lifestyle practices and interventions at different scales to protect the future of upcoming generations.<\/p>\n<p>Architecture can play an important role in this campaign. Designers will have to propose ideas that not only serve the functions of the inhabitants now but also contribute to the future wellness of the planet. Some of the ways this can be done are by using sustainable materials, energy-efficient technologies and increasing green cover.<\/p>\n<p>Introducing new parks and gardens can be a challenge in dense cities with ever-increasing populations. Architects are increasingly turning to green high rises as vertical solutions that use natural vegetation to improve air quality, regulate heat and increase human interaction with nature for healthier lifestyles. Below are a few built and conceptual projects that show what green high rises of tomorrow should look like.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy lazy_media_item alignnone wp-image-101662 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Piraeus.jpg\" alt=\"green high rises\" width=\"2152\" height=\"824\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Piraeus.jpg 2152w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Piraeus-300x115.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Piraeus-1024x392.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Piraeus-768x294.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Piraeus-1536x588.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Piraeus-2048x784.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Piraeus-400x153.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2152px) 100vw, 2152px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-101661 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Piraeus-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1815\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Piraeus-2.jpg 1815w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Piraeus-2-300x94.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Piraeus-2-1024x320.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Piraeus-2-768x240.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Piraeus-2-1536x480.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Piraeus-2-400x125.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1815px) 100vw, 1815px\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/projects\/piraeus-tower-elaionas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Piraeus Tower<\/strong><\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/smyrlis-architects\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Smyrlis Architects<\/a>, Athens, Greece<\/p>\n<p>By reimagining an abandoned building at the port of Piraeus, <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/smyrlis-architects\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Smyrlis Architects<\/a> aim to create a landmark for the city.
