About Entelechy I
The origin of the term ‘entelechy' can be found in Aristotle from the Greek έντελέχεια (Latin entelecheia), which describes something becoming out of its inherent potential. This philosophical origin inspired the name for Entelechy I, Portman's first house designed as a pavilion for him and his family to live their daily lives in as well as entertain in. The primary idea of the house is Portman's concept of “space within space” that echoes his desire to emulate the order and variety of nature. This conception of nested space appears in the composition of the house in two layers: first, a hierarchical zoning of functions based on use, and second in the articulation of modules defining two types of space in a consistent rhythm throughout the structure. The order of both of these organizations is contrasted by planar and sectional complexities that create variety within these definitions.

La idea principal de la casa es el concepto de Portman del “espacio dentro del espacio”, que aspira a emular el orden y la variedad de la naturaleza. Esta concepción del espacio anidado aparece en la composición de la casa como dos capas: primero, una zonificación jerárquica de funciones basada en el uso, y segundo en la articulación de módulos que definen dos tipos de espacio en un ritmo constante en toda la estructura. El orden de estas dos organizaciones contrasta con la complejidad de la planta y las secciones que crean variedad dentro de tales definiciones. Spatial hierarchies in the house are clearly divided to support two zones of use and separate their functions.
