A competition to design a studio for U2 in Dublin's docklands has caused an international row after a British candidate claimed the band was showing favouritism. More than 500 bids to design the building, likely to be Dublin's highest, were received by the Dublin Docklands Development Authority (DDDA) by last Friday's deadline. They are believed to include a proposal from Frank Gehry, one of the world's best-known architects and the designer of the Bilbao Guggenheim museum.
