As research director, he led teams in London, Accra, and New York. His responsibilities included conducting original research through comprehensive investigations of history, theory, philosophy, and culture, as well as translating future-oriented thinking into strategic advantages for spatial design and cultural and social impact. This work was integrated throughout the design process, supporting the practice's international projects and competitions. As a lecturer at The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London, von Beider mentors and supervises advanced research methodologies in architectural practice. He is regularly invited to conduct workshops and deliver critical evaluations at leading academic institutions and professional forums worldwide.
