Imagine getting paid to design a park for a good 30 kids. So at least 30 adult people might wanna enjoy watching their kids run around busting the dance moves and the jumping and jumping and smashing at the park. Maybe 10 of them want to sit down. So if I was a total fucking asshole I would want at least 10 seats. Usually people don’t want to mingle with other possible covid sources so 10 benches. Okay now you have a park, and 10 benches. The sun indicates good weather which is the usual time when one would like to go to the park. Unless Seattle ofcourse. OK so you need to make a shade for the sun and a roof for rain.

Now comes the tricky bit. I know a lot of park designers are total fucking retard assholes, but let’s assume you want people to have fun and enjoy at least the one fucking bench. Say you would like this enjoyment to happen between 8 am and 8 pm during all or most sunny months. Ah nevermind, its too complicated.

    At high latitudes such as Seattle, there is no orientation that will provide shade at all times of year.

    Best they can do is center it. If they set the shade south of the benches, you get no shade in summer during the morning or late afternoon when the sun rises and sets in the north.

    Whats your proposed design? Make the shade 4x bigger for 4x the price?
