UK studio Dorothy, comprising a Brummie, a Scouser and a Manc, has expanded its range of conceptual prints to include lost music venues and football stadiums.

A Brummie, a Scouser and a Manc walk out of an ad agency... thus was born Dorothy - a UK studio producing conceptual prints, products and artworks, which range from the intriguing to the offensively hilarious (did anyone see its retirement clocks during Clerkenwell Design Week in London last year?) Blueprint habitués will be familiar with its series of brutalist (and beyond) building prints - we featured Preston Bus Station a while back. The latest addition to the series is Trellick Tower ('by popular demand'), so we thought this was a good point to take stock of their oeuvre.

Dorothy, comprising Scouser Jim Quail, Manc Phil Skegg and Brummie Ali Johnson, explains: 'Our Lost Destination series of prints was born out of our shared love of concrete and brutalist buildings. We wanted to celebrate what we thought were beautiful buildings, which had once been destinations in their own right, but whose greatness over time had been largely forgotten, overlooked or immersed in the everyday... and in some cases even demolished.'

The range has grown a little over the years to incorporate other buildings, such as 'lost' music venues and football stadiums. The selection of prints is really based on personal favourites in the studio: 'I'm originally from Birmingham so fought for Spaghetti Junction, Rotunda and the Ziggurat,' says Johnson. '

Being based in Manchester it's hard not to love the Hacienda (and it was one of Phil's old haunts). Collectively, we love Forton Services and the way this UFO-like structure punctuates the mundane motorway journey up to the Lakes. Similarly, Fylingdales - it's straight out of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Anyone who's ever got close to the "golf balls" will understand.'
