Who was the Renaissance architect whose guidebook and personal neoclassical style was widely influential during the Enlightenment?

Drawing on Greek and Roman influences, Palladio called for symmetry, domes, columns, and grand spaces. Each of these elements would become hallmarks of neoclassical architecture during the eighteenth century.
