Why does the concept of a room exist?

Based on what I said here. So... why do rooms exist?

True, there's stuff like shelter from the elements, but those needs can be met other ways. Why do we humans need a special space for purely ourselves?

Well let's see, I'll take care of the basic pragmatic physical housebuilding architecture shit first. Walls make for some quality structural support for a roof or higher rooms, also not a bad place to put lightswitches and shit, lean stuff against, or put stuff on.

But also we value our privacy... important thing. If I'm taking a shit for example, I'm happy there's a separate room for that... and more happy if it's other people taking a shit, I don't need to see that. Also, my parent's bedroom was right across the hall from mine when I was growing up... and I'm glad I didn't see them pounding each other, same with my roommate whose room is rather close to mind, I don't need to see what he does with his girlfriend. Moreover, I'm happier there was a wall and door inhibiting my parents from seeing me fap in my room cuz that would be awkward. Also me and everyone else I've ever lived with is happy to have a room where they can change clothes in private, and where they won't be disturbed while sleeping.

Third because it's good for organization if you have separate spaces with different functions, a kitchen, a bedroom to sleep in and game in, a living room to meet up with other people in your house to watch TV and chill n shit, a bathroom to literally shit in and shower in, etc.

Lastly, because by our nature we simultaneously create and seek sovereignty in some part of our lives. In public anyone can come up to me, any noise can be made, anyone could be watching me, and I don't really have the authority to put shit wherever I want or stand wherever I want if it's somewhere people are walking, or have privacy. In other parts of any house I've lived in that aren't my room, other people might be moving around, making noise, expecting a certain level of social decency, or attention, or some other thing from me or just doing an activity I might find distracting. In my room though I can put down all my shit, do whatever I want, entertain whatever guests I want or don't want, have privacy or solitude if I want, do shit without screwing with anyone else, masturbate, sleep without being disturbed, think in solitude, etc.

I think that the idea of separating space is so ingrained in our minds that making rooms is something that was bound to happen for us. Nevertheless I can still of very different/conflicting reasons for us to want to have them.

The first one is to be sure something can exist consistently over a given time. Think of yourself walking through the grasslands, exploring, hiking up a mountain and then walking back to your starting point. Barring a big stone or a crooked tree that you identifying on your way back, it's nearly impossible for you to guarantee that any of the spots you passed by remained the same during that little time. It's even hard to identify any "given space" if you don't make a mark. Animals will do this thanks to scents and taste, if things were to become odorless after their first passing they'd be pretty puzzled.

For us living in a constant unawareness of space becomes tiresome, so after secluding a certain space we can easily convince ourselves that such room is continuous over time and that it's a place we can "return to".

You just answered your own question.

I asked why do we? It's obvious we need it, but why? The deeper psychological sh!t is at hand here.

Sometimes the answer is simple.

May as well ask "why do concepts like good and evil exist?"

"Why does virtually every society have a concept of spirituality/religion/higher powers?"

"Why do parents love their kids?"

"Why is murder considered wrong?"

I dunno, I like Riv's take.

For once I agree with Riv.

The answer is astoundingly simple. No need for melodrama.

We as humans fundamentally seek out territory because the world is composed of order and chaos. We adapt to it by adventurously exploring the unknown so we can naturalize it into what is habitable for us. Our rooms are our innermost sanctums in geographic space.

And for sex and masturbation. eek!

It would be weird if anyone could look in on you at any point. Some activities are best practiced with privacy. confused
