Why did farmers build round barns? Many believed that round barns were efficient in a number of ways:
The round barn had a greater volume-to-surface ratio than a rectangular barn.
There is an estimated a 34% to 58% savings in cost of materials compared to a rectangular barn.
The open floor gave farmers space to work without having to dodge the posts supporting the building.
Farmers could also work in a continuous direction.
Feed was often stored in the center of the barn, making it easy to distribute to the stalls.
Stalls were wedge-shaped, which actually fits quite well with the natural shape of cattle.
But efficiency was just one of the reasons some farmers built round barns. Many people believed that round barns were stronger and could better withstand severe weather. Others thought that the design stayed warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.

The Turlough Round Tower stands proudly overlooking the gardens of the National Museum of Country Life. It dates to the c.9th century and its conical top was replaced in 1880. The church beside it was built in the 18th century and incorporates a 16th-century mullioned window and a small plaque with a crucifixion dated to 1625. It is reputed that St. Patrick founded a monastery and carried out baptisms at the nearby well even though there are no records of him ever visiting this area! These associations led to a long dispute over its ownership between the Archbishops of Armagh and Tuam right up to 1351. This squabble went all the way to Rome and the Pope had to intervene authorizing the rights to be relinquished to the Archbishop of Tuam. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries, its possession went into the hands of the Bourke family and soon after to The Fitzgerald family in 1655.

Round , Bilog
In the Philippines with old and new year every food that is collected is round (Bilog in Tagalog)
It is thought to bring good luck (swirte in Tagalog)
It brings good luck indeed to all the vendors indeed in this time, prices are rising sky high.
Here are some examples in a collage of the Filipino round foods, all of them are fruit, but better classified as drupe (steenvrucht):

.... Und das geht hin und eilt sich, dass es endet,
und kreist und dreht sich nur und hat kein Ziel.
Ein Rot, ein Grün, ein Grau vorbeigesendet,
ein kleines kaum begonnenes Profil -.
Und manchesmal ein Lächeln, hergewendet,
ein seliges, das blendet und verschwendet
an dieses atemlose blinde Spiel ...
Fragment aus
Rainer Maria Rilke
Das Karussell
Jardin du Luxembourg
And it goes on and hurries to its end,
and circles about itself and has no goal.
A red, a green, a gray is sent along,
an outline small and hardly yet begun—
And sometimes a laughing face will turn again,
a blessing, that dazzles and just as quickly fades,
in this blind, breathless play . . .
(all tr. Cliff Crego)
