Hi Paul
The "dome" comprises 36 triangles laid on straight purlins between the arched beams, so each triangle is only curved in one plane.

Only an approximation using flat triangular segments, I get 3491.4 m2
1. 18 high x 31 base = 35.85 m length to peak
2. each of 36 panels has 62m x pi / 36 as base = 5.41 m as base
3. 1/2 of each panel = 5.41/2 m = 2.70 m as base (to make right triangle)
4. area of 1/2 panel = .5 x B x H = .5 x [2.70 x 35.85] = 48.49 m2
5. area of panel = 2 x 48.49 = 96.98 m2
6. area of 36 panels = 96.8 x 36 = 3491.4 m2
