The original winner of a competition to design U2's new studio in Dublin's docklands may have been found. A model by a London firm of architects bears a remarkable similarity to the entry first selected by the Dublin Docklands Development Authority, according to sources close to the jury. The British firm that designed the plan, 3W, is to ask the DDDA why it was not included in an audit of entrants carried out by the accountants Price Waterhouse Coopers after organisers of the competition couldn't work out the identity of the winning entry. The design was later disqualified.
