The Art of Movement
Nothing stands still. Not cities, not energy, not life itself.
Indeed, looking up at the massive rock in Sri Lanka, I feel the scale of the world — and my place in it. Consequently, this perspective has guided me for decades — from designing roads to understanding how energy moves through buildings. Moreover, as a mentor, I’ve shared this knowledge with other engineers, helping them grow through hands-on projects and real-world experience.
Different materials, yet the same principle: flow. For example, how people move, how warmth travels through walls, and how structures breathe and hold life inside them. Engineering taught me precision, patience, and respect for invisible forces. Furthermore, energy efficiency revealed how much depends on what we don’t see — small imbalances that change everything.
Later, flying over the jungle in Thailand on a zip line, I feel the same energy I’ve studied in infrastructure — balance, momentum, and freedom in motion. Indeed, movement isn’t only engineered on paper. It’s lived, felt, and experienced.
From that experience, I founded my own company, Keindl Bau, combining expertise, creativity, and a shared vision for sustainable, efficient design. Meanwhile, my role as mentor continues, guiding the next generation of engineers to understand both the technical and human side of engineering.
Now, I live that movement. Therefore, I travel, I write, and I explore how design, energy, and freedom intersect. The skills that once built infrastructure now build perspective — the most valuable structure I’ve ever created.
Because real engineering is about understanding connections — in materials, in systems, and in life itself — and moving with that rhythm. Finally, Vanja Keindl, founder of KEINDL BAU Company and mentor, believes every journey teaches something about design, movement, and perspective.
