Sant Ivo - Dome from curves

[ahmad.ali]

Hi,
I am new to Grasshopper. I am trying to make Sant’Ivo alla sapienza. I have made it’s dome in Rhino, but as it is a complex surface, I thought maybe making it in Grasshopper would be easier.
Can anyone help? How do I connect the 2 curves making them into a dome?

Thank you

This?
Although the curve is not very good. Don’t you need a smoother shape?

I think the best result will come if you create a Loft then extrude the UV lines and then relax them into a catenary shape and rebuild the surface.

Or try creating catenray mesh with Kangaroo. I think this will give the best result.
