'The Value of Design 2008' was an afternoon symposium held on the 10th of April in 2008 on architecture, structural engineering and the overlapping areas of these two disciplines. A number of top architects and engineers gave their views on this subject, focusing on the symposium's theme of 'Shared Ambitions' and such subjects as sustainability. The symposium was held in the Old Church in Delft; cold but beautiful this unusual venue succeeded to charm everyone and helped make the symposium the great success that it was.
The organisers should like to thank Erick van Egeraat, Reinhard Joecks, Tim Macfarlane, Louis Becker, Jim Eyre and Manfred Grohmann for speaking at 'The Value of Design 2008.' Its success would not have been possible without them.
