Adrian Beso Ros

Adrian Beso Ros is a Titular de Universidad (Associate Professor) in the Department of History of Art at the Faculty of Geography and History, Universitat de València. His academic work is deeply rooted in the study of cultural and architectural heritage, particularly within the Valencian region across Medieval and Early Modern periods.

His research interests focus on the historical evolution of landscapes, especially orange grove agrarian systems, industrial architecture, rural dispersed buildings, and urban public infrastructure. He explores how cultural memory, identity, and societal values are embedded in the built environment. His work bridges art historical analysis with heritage conservation practices, examining both physical structures and their symbolic meanings.

The analysis of his recent publications reveals a consistent thematic trajectory in cultural heritage, with a strong regional focus on Valencia. His work spans architectural typologies, industrial archaeology, restoration processes, and the cultural representation of landscapes. He frequently investigates how historical contexts shape the perception and use of artistic remains, particularly through literary, visual, and social lenses.

Adrian Beso Ros has supervised postgraduate research, including his own PhD on orange grove architecture and landscape. While no formal list of students is provided, his role as a thesis supervisor indicates active mentorship. He is a member of the MUPART research group, which studies the memory and meaning of artistic remains in the Valencian region, suggesting collaborative research and potential grant involvement in heritage studies.

His research is supported by extensive archival and field-based work, contributing to museum projects, heritage inventories, and public dissemination. His engagement with contemporary issues such as citizen participation in heritage documentation and digital dissemination reflects a modern, inclusive approach to cultural preservation.
