Anthropologists have often noted this change from round to square without knowing its cause.

The Tribal man lives in a more round/conical house. The roundhouses are said to access the cosmic energies of the universe.
The round houses in a tribal village are constructed in such a way that the inhabitants can hear each other through the walls. This layout of houses creates a sense of connection as if they are part of a single organism. According to Marshall McLuhan, these rounded houses carry a deeper spiritual connotation.

The square house, particularly this arrangement of square dwellings,
is an obsession with the linear and fragmented man after meeting with the phonetic alphabet. The linear visual man, whose sense ratios have changed to the 'eye', will most likely be obsessed with square spaces. The linear man wants to separate functions. He wants to put things in separate spaces or rooms ("where they belong").
