Introduction Modernism in architecture has experienced a massive transformation since Gilbert Laing Meason published his book, ‘ On the Landscape Architecture of the Great Painters of Italy ’ in 1828 (Hays 78). Several other architects have endeavored to come up with new designs that is not only meant to offer new insights into the world of architecture, but also meant to offer comfort and happiness to humanity. Le Corbusier once said that architects are supposed to conceive new and creative ways of offering designs that are functional, appealing, and conscious of the increasingly limited land resource (Sabatino 56). Since 1920s, history of landscape architecture has taken an interesting turn as we approached modernism. Architectures were under pressure to come up with structures that met the needs of people, besides being functional and appealing. One of the great architectural works in the modern society is the Central Park in New York. Sitting on a 778 piece of land, this park was constructed to offer New York residents a place where they could retreat away from the bustle in the city. Constructed in 1858 by Calvert Vaux and Frederick Olmsted, this is one of the most magnificent parks in the United States that attracts a lot of holiday makers. This research will compare the architectural landscape of this park and that of Jingshan Park in Beijing in an attempt to analyze modernism in architecture as manifested in the existing physical structures. Discussion According to Hays (78), modernism in architecture is widely associated to Le Corbusier and Paul Greenhalgh who brought a new insight into the field of architecture. Le is known for his criticism of the idea that architectures were basically meant to design houses, and hand their design to civil engineers who were supposed to implement their design. He insisted that architectures, just like poets and novelists, were supposed to be the custodian of culture, the social beliefs and other practices of a given community. This was to be presented in their design as a way of reflecting the true image of the society. This is demonstrated in the two parks that will be analyzed in this research. The figure below is the Central Park in New York Figure 1: Central Park in New York. The idea to come up with the Central Park was borrowed from the United Kingdom and France that had already developed beautiful parks within their major cities. The government and other stakeholders decided to develop a park that would be used by the city dwellers to rest without the disturbance of the noise from the city. Jingshan Park in Beijing is another public park that has attracted a lot of attention not only in China, but also in the entire world. It is important to analyze similarities of these two parks. Similarities in the Parks A close analysis of the two parks shows that they were developed with the intention of offering comfort of mind through beauty and serenity. This is demonstrated in their design, especially the need to present nature the way it is. The two figures below shows this. Figure 2a: Jingshan Park in Beijing. Figure 2b: Central Park in New York. A close analysis of the two photos would make one believe that the two are not different. The beauty of nature is presented in the best way possible. According to Slavicek (48), the work of architects is to bring out uniqueness in a given structure in a manner th
