Architect, Artist, Philosopher, Environmentalist.

Born in Belarus, he studied at the School of Fine Arts and graduated with the Maximum Honors. He continued his education at Glebov's School of Fine Art, and for his contradictions and beliefs, was expelled from the Belarusian Academy of Art.

In 1985, inspired by Oscar Niemeyer and Le Corbusier, Poloz studied architecture and urban design under the tutelage of Professor B. I. Ezhov.

In a while, he was encouraged to study ancient Slavic culture and medieval Russian architecture and focused his research on pre-Mongol methods of construction, timber structures, roofs, cupolas, and structural connections. He was involved as an expert and director in restoration of millennium old historical projects.

In the USA, he studied Building Science & Sustainability including design theories, methods, and practice of contemporary European and Japanese Architecture.

In 1993, he established Poloz A & C, Consulting company, specializing in the preservation of historical buildings in Chicago, USA.

Since the year of 2000, Poloz changed his career by focusing on designs of primarily new single-family residences, and over time, his portfolio has grown in complexity. In his work, Poloz collaborated with several successful architects and engineers, combining their knowledge, experience, and dynamic ambition; at the present time, as the principal of Poloz Architects, Ltd., he leads a team of design professionals in Chicago and Toronto.

Today, his professional studies engage to interdisciplinary research in sustainable urban development, new ecological design, environment, and new sustainable technology. He is interesting in the areas of energy and natural energy transformation, ecological design, materials and construction, environmental healing and restoration of Nature. His research focuses on both the physical and conceptual aspects of new type architecture and their intersection with man and nature.

For him, architecture is concerned with the quality of life, and the quality of life is concerned with ecology and sustainability.

His research focuses on the interaction between environmental health and new formation of city space and life. He has been studying the relations between the existing urban conditions and ecological transformation of these conditions, particularly in the context of humanization and ecologization of city life.

Current research interests include ancient methods of construction, investigation of ancient materials, sustainability of life, and studies of ancient buildings performance. He is making experimental modeling and testing with finite element analysis using it as a tool for future structures, and a design process for the integrating of ancient experience and future architecture. His studies are interdisciplinary, combining methodologies, theories, and approaches from the different sources and scientific studies.

Poloz is a designer of more than 50 new residential homes, multi-family complexes, urban master plans, private art galleries, churches, and is the winner of several design competitions.
