The Memory of the Walls, Azulejo series

Bold black and silver-grey lines sweep across a circular composition of ivory tiles, creating a dynamic interplay between geometry, movement and fragmentation. The work transforms a familiar element of Lisbon’s architectural heritage into a striking contemporary wall piece.

 

 

The composition incorporates original early 20th-century azulejos produced by Fábrica Desterro Lisboa and salvaged during the renovation of a Lisbon building. Reassembled in a circular form, the historic tiles become the surface for a mixed-media intervention that connects their material memory with a new graphic language.

 

The work was created by 3TWINS for Casa Aether by AB+AC Architects as part of the LDW26 programme.

3TWINS, Yuri and Anatoly Zelensky

3TWINS is a duo of twin brothers, Yuri and Anatoly Zelensky, whose practice began with graffiti and evolved through architectural education into large scale abstract interventions in urban space. Drawing from industrial architecture and infrastructural forms, their work translates the logic of the built environment into compositions of rhythm, shadow, outline, and texture, often echoing the visual language of digital space and virtual environments.

Working site specifically, 3TWINS engage each location as a system of surfaces, structures, and light conditions. By sampling the surrounding landscape, its geometries, materials, and color temperatures, they reframe familiar places and shift the viewer’s perception of scale, depth, and spatial atmosphere.

Their work has been presented in Berlin, Leipzig, Amsterdam, and South Korea. In 2019, Pinzle Contemporary Art Magazine dedicated a full issue to their practice. Based between Lisbon and Moscow, they continue to develop projects across different urban contexts while maintaining an architectural approach to contemporary mural work.
