Andrea Palladio @500
Andrea Palladio (November 30, 1508 – August 19, 1580), was an Italian architect, widely considered the most influential person in the history of Western architecture. The Palladian style, named after him, adhered to classical Roman principles (Palladio knew relatively little about Greek architecture). The Palladian villa format was easily adapted for a democratic worldview, as can be seen at Thomas Jefferson's commissioned buildings. Palladian motifs, particularly the window, made a comeback during the postmodern era. The architect Philip Johnson frequently used it as a doorway.
