		Portman is said to be the model for the protagonist Charlie Croker in Tom Wolfe's novel "A Man in Full".
		Portman is a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects.

	John Portman - Wikipedia
		John Portman (4 de diciembre de 1924) es un arquitecto y promotor estadounidense.
		Portman se ha hecho famoso, incluso ante el gran público, por sus grandes edificios, principalmente hoteles de Hyatt, dotados de atrios espectaculares en los que todas o la mayoría de las plantas pueden verse desde el interior del hotel y se accede a ellas mediante ascensores panorámicos.
		Los profesionales, en cambio, aprecian de la labor de Portman muy especialmente el pragmatismo y los conceptos innovadores con los que aborda la revitalización de barrios deprimidos, una tarea que va mucho más allá del diseño urbanístico.

		Portman's effort is one of a distinctly singular emphasis on suspense, with none of Amram's stylistic or creative reach.
		Rachel Portman, whose choice for this assignment (given her overwhelming career tendencies towards romance and comedy) was intriguing, writes her most ferocious and/or disturbed score, but by no means her best.
		The piano, as usual for Portman, is a central piece, meandering in her typical octave-friendly fashion underneath this action.

	jetsetmodern.com: john portman hyatt regency atlanta
		John Portman’s vision for the Regency was simple; it would be a world-class hotel where none had ever existed before, and its architecture would be so distinctive that the hotel would need no further recommendation as Atlanta’s premier place for visitors to stay.
		Portman had taken more than a few cues from an architect he respected highly; his respect was well-founded, since the architect was Frank Lloyd Wright.
		Not content with the entertainment value of the Parasol and the elevators, Portman threw in a Tivoli-style sidewalk cafe called the Kafe Kobenhavn; all the virtues of sidewalk cafes were suddenly available in a city whose hot, humid climate was most inhospitable to the real thing.
