In the far southeast corner of Roma stands the Centro Urbano Benito Juárez , or Multifamiliar Juárez , a very large apartment complex in the 1940s and early 1950s . It was one of several projects of this type by architect Mario Pani , designed to house city government workers and to be semi-autonomous with its own schools , administration , businesses etc. and incorporate as much outdoors space as possible . Carlos Mérida ’s mural work here was the most important of his career and the largest mural project in Mexico in the 20th century . Most of the complex and murals were destroyed by , or demolished after the 1985 Mexico City earthquake . Most the land where the demolished buildings stood has become the Jardín Ramón López Velarde park
