I took this picture from a cube shaped structure with five circles on five side. The tree on the left-hand corner messes up the shot. I tried to remove it using photoshop but I didn't feel too good about that either.

Jatiyo Sangsad Bhaban is the National Assembly Building of Bangladesh, located in the capital Dhaka. It was created by architect Louis I. Kahn and is one of the largest legislative complexes in the world. It houses all parliamentary activities of Bangladesh. Construction of the Jatiya Shangshad Bhaban began in 1961 by the Government of Pakistan as a permanent building for the federal legislature of both West and East Pakistan. However, it was the eighth (and last) session of the second parliament of Bangladesh that first used it on 15 February 1982 after its construction was completed on 28 January of the same year. The Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban has been in operation and has acted as the sole complex used as the National Assembly ever since. (wikipedia)

Here's the planned layout, plus a calculated shadow diagram.

There are two rectangular shade units at right angles, with a third shade cloth draped diagonally between them. The rectangular shade units had a black pipe arch at either end and the arches were joined by a lattice of rope. The arches were located on guide rebar stakes and were secured to the ground with nylon tie-down straps. The arches were free-standing once they had their guys installed.

The structure was oriented to keep the tent and living area in permanent shade. The table and blue chairs caught late-afternoon shade, in time for supper. Any additional shade from nearby objects was just a bonus.
