"la djan" is the sumti, and yes. be is used to link sumti to others.

In this case, the be inserts "la djan." into the x2 of zdani. If you
want to put something in the x3, etc. you can use constructs like
"befi", or if you want to attach some BAI or something else to it (this
is a bit more advanced, so feel free to gloss over it), you can simply
do "bebai" or "be fi'o gismu".
