Principal
Sang Dae Lee, Assoc. AIA, LEED AP, is the principal of UNITEDLAB Associates, a Cross-Disciplinary Laboratory for Architecture, Landscape, and Urban Design, established in 2006. His design philosophy centers around integrating architecture with humanism within nature. Through extensive social research and analysis, he explores architecture in connection with human behavior, social phenomena, the surrounding context, and urbanism.
UNITEDLAB strives to address the challenges of a future with limited resources, actively implementing principles of social, environmental, and economic sustainability in its beautifully crafted designs. The studio has received numerous accolades, including AIA Design Awards, Architizer A+Awards, and ASLA Professional Awards, among others. Prior to founding UNITEDLAB, he gained 17 years of experience practicing at renowned firms in Los Angeles, Boston, and NYC, including those founded by notable architects such as Charles Moore, Arthur Gensler, Moshe Safdie, and I.M. Pei, working on diverse award-winning projects of varying typologies and scales, with expertise in architecture, urban design, and landscape architecture.
Currently serving as a Visiting Assistant Professor at the Auburn University School of Architecture, Planning, and Landscape Architecture, he holds a Master of Architecture degree from the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) and a Bachelor of Engineering in Architecture from Kookmin University in Seoul, Korea, Summa Cum Laude.

이상대는 2006년에 설립된 건축, 조경 및 도시 디자인을 실행하는 UNITEDLAB Associates의 대표이며, 미국건축사협회 준회원, 친환경디자인전문가(LEED AP)이다. 그의 디자인 철학은 자연 속에서 건축과 휴머니즘을 통합하는 데 중점을 두고 있다. 광범위한 사회 연구와 분석을 통해 건축을 인간 행동, 사회 현상, 주변 맥락과 도시화와 연관하여 탐구한다.
UNITEDLAB은 제한된 자원으로 미래의 도전 과제를 해결하기 위해 노력하고 아름답게 만들어진 디자인에서 사회적, 환경적, 경제적 지속 가능성의 원칙을 적극적으로 구현한다. 이 스튜디오는 AIA Design Awards, Architizer A+Awards, ASLA Professional Awards 등 수많은 찬사를 받았다. UNITEDLAB을 설립하기 전에 그는 Charles Moore, Arthur Gensler, Moshe Safdie 및 I.M. Pei와 같은 저명한 건축가가 설립한 회사를 포함하여 엘에이, 보스톤, 뉴욕에 위치한 유명한 회사에서 17년 동안 일하면서 건축, 도시 디자인 및 조경 분야의 전문 지식을 갖춘 다양한 유형 및 규모의 다양한 수상 경력에 빛나는 프로젝트를 수행한 경험을 얻었다.
현재 Auburn University 건축, 계획 및 조경 학교에서 객원 조교수로 재직 중이며, Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc)에서 건축학 석사를, 국민대학교에서 건축공학 학사를 최우등으로 취득했다.
