+ de 100 definiciones de diseño is Gabriel Simón Sol's compilation of more than 100 definitions of design proposed by different theorists over time. It argues that no single definition fits every context, since ideas of design shift with culture and circumstance, and illustrates the definitions with student artwork.
+ de 100 definiciones de diseño, by the Mexican industrial designer Gabriel Simón Sol, compiles more than 100 definitions of design proposed by different theorists throughout history. The book traces how these definitions have evolved and argues that, particularly in a postmodern context, there is no single best or final definition of design, only multiple perspectives shaped by culture and circumstance. Each definition is accompanied by illustrations made by students, with the aim of helping readers understand the evolution of design thinking over time. Sol is a founding member of CODIGRAM and a research professor at Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, Xochimilco.
