This is why the planners were
under considerable time pressure, which resulted in many problems. In the competition's design the curves were drawn by hand, but later the design had to be expressed accurately, through geometry.
A range of variations was thought about, drawn and dismissed.
Circular segments, ellipses, parabolas were all tried to define the geometry of the shells.
