so why don’t they (ddda) have any of this posted on their website….what good is a press release if it is not released?
that would have been a negotiating point if I were 3W – I
guess that assumes there was some sort of negotiation.thank you very much! I can see that the event would have been worth the airfare……maybe next time.
that el architino is a very elusive maestro, even with radiant toenails.
so how was the exhibition opening Paul? Did they serve you a fine beverage and chat like nothing ever happened?
Just curious about the event. Great work on your part.
can’t one of those losers involved in the selection process get up the nerve to publish an image of what they believed in- the true winner…..what would be the harm in that?
Wasn’t it written in one of the articles that a couple of jurors were going to resign over this- well here’s your chance to get your spine back and rectify the situation.
post it – I dare you!
can someone with access to the times give us less fortunate souls a taste of the article tomorrow….many thanks
after seeing the commended designs……do i want to see the “mystery winner”? anyone who thinks they’ve seen
it let me know what you think of it.el architino – vulgar, yes I agree. but it would be elevated to the heights of couture style beneath your white suede suit – please reconsider.
el architino your help is needed with t-shirt design for opening of ddda exhibition – go to other post and provide your special leadership – I think hand drawn by you on each tee would be appropriate, where should we send them to you?
i like collaborating – that works too, and is much better with the insertion of local context/culture…..can we keep the back of the tee spare and questioning?
can you guys print up t-shirts with the “winning” scheme and attend – it would be a great! They could have the words ” got screwed ” above the rendering and then the back could be large letters that say ” U2? “
this (see below) was posted on archinect – anyone out there got any clues? seems like a good cause.
what was the nature of their disqualification?
Regarding hopeless in Dublin.
Original U2 Tower winner Disqualified!
If you care.
AND IF ANYONE ELSE DOES
Then please email these people and voice your concerns/opinions/requests for information.
This is a big cover up (within) the architectural community, and the city of Dublin, but ultimately means that U2 will not get the building or Studios that were the first choice of the Jury (including adam clayton) and that the real winner may never be identified.

Subject: U2 Tower Dublin Docklands Competition Real Winner.
Message Contents:
I/We demand a fully and published public enquiry into the organisation and running of the Dublin Docklands Development Association competition for a Landmark Tower and U2 studio.
Specific attention should be paid to identifying and revealing the identity of the Original Winner as selected by the Jury. We demand that this entry be published on the DDDA website, and receives the same press attention as the Subsequent Winner (Burdon Dunne/Craig Henry Scheme).And insist that the original winner is included in the Public Exhibition planned to be held in Dublin in Spetember/October 2003.
Signed.
(your name)
Thank you for your help in this.
Please forward this to anyone you feel might be interested, whether they are involved in Architecture or Design, are a Resident of Dublin, Have or will visit Dublin in the Future, Or are simply a U2 fan.have them send an image to post in the unbuilt – no need to identify them any differently than the others.
just the image and their text….and a copy of the cashed check to ddda if they got one….;0
I just read the article on U2’s site – LOL!!
http://www.atu2.com/news/article.src?ID=3153so can anyone get their hands on the image of the true winner? Love to see what they really wanted to build.
poor sap forgot to enter, enclose all the required A4 entry information, and pay his entrance fee…. but somehow produced the winning entry, packaged it up and sent it in on time to be judged!!!!
very cinderella – glass slipper anyone?this is getting really good! keep it coming.
question is will they (ddda) have the guts to show it at the
exhibition (or has it reverted back to a pumpkin) – we haven’t heard much about that event recently, have we.
