Abstract
The article analyzes walkgraphies in Dundee and Glasgow, focusing on waterfronts as sensitive urban territories. Using visual and narrative records, it explores walkgraphy as a critical method. V&A Dundee (Kengo Kuma) and Riverside Museum (Zaha Hadid) are case studies in riverfront revitalization: the former integrates with the Tay River; the latter evokes industrial memory but faces connectivity issues. The study shows how integrated projects can transform river margins into spaces of transition and interaction, contributing to the urban waterscape debate by linking memory, nature, and city.
