A multidisciplinar and heterogeneous approach of the research of archival documentation, historical photographs and notes on the architect journals has been graphically located through photogrammetry and 3D-Scanning elevations, confirmed by mortar sample analysis and an exhaustive mapping on site of all the surfaces of the octagon, in a Building Archaeological analysis. The example of this methodological procedure is to be shown in general terms for the whole building, whilst concretizing with a deeper level of details in the case of the north-western bay of this apse, an area which contain and can illustrate all these diverse restoration and renovation phases and its characteristics. Further analysis in other areas and the combination and merging feasibility among historical-artistic, archaeological-architectonic and geometrical-modelling data are also included in this article, yet in a second term.engNidaros CathedralRestoration19th Century3D-ScanMappingBuilding Archaeology720conferenceobjecturn:nbn:de:bvb:473-irb-536901
