	Francois Mansart Biography / Biography of Francois Mansart Main Biography
		François Mansart (1598-1666), one of the first French architects to embrace the ideals of classicism, was an eloquent spokesman for classical restraint, beauty of proportion, and clarity of form.
		Possibly inspired by Andrea Palladio's plan of II Redentore in Venice, Mansart's scheme was executed only through the entablatures of the nave and the first story of the facade; Mansart kept changing his original plan and hence was dismissed from the project, which was handed over to Jacques Lemercier.
		Mansart's obsession for modifying his designs lost him a number of commissions, not the least of which was that for the eastern wing of the Great Court of the Louvre, for which he was asked to submit plans in 1664.

		Here are some of the most important points to remember for dormers, so the next time you see one of these “roof” windows you’ll be able to call it by its true name.
		The origin of dormers goes back centuries to French architect Francois Mansart (1598-1666), who introduced the Mansard style—known for its four-sided, double-pitched roof that has a lower slope that is especially steep.
		The deep rooflines embraced tall attic spaces that could serve as an additional floor of sleeping areas without exceeding prevailing Parisian height restrictions—if light and ventilation could somehow be introduced.
