The colonia was planned by the renowned Mexican Modernist architect Luis Barragán in 1955.[1][2] It was on the site of the former "Santa Edwviges" woods.
Because of the deforestation of the woods, the controversial project based on the notion of a "Garden City" was not supported by Jorge Matute, then mayor of Jalisco. It was built.
The northern and original entrance of the colonia, with a primary sculpture by Mathias Goeritz, was designed in collaboration with Luis Barragán in 1957.
