Philosophy
This seems to be a set phrase but I can't find an English equivalent anywhere. I don't think context is of much use here - it is in a philosophical text talking about architecture:
Le projet se concevant dans une continuité, un continuum des parties au tout et du tout aux parties, pas uniquement dans un montage d'objets mais dans un systeme dynamique où tout agit sur tout ...

parts interacting/intertwined with each other
Hello,
I think they could have also said "des parties allant au tout et du tout aux parties". The idea, imho, is just that all the parts of intertwined in the sense they do not act independent of each other.
au tout et du tout = to the whole and of the whole (intertwined?)
It's not a very common expression, imho.
I hope this helps.

where the components are one with the whole and the whole one with the components
I think the clue lies in the word "continuum". If you take the definintion in Webster's Online Dictionary:
"A continuous nonspatial whole or extent or succession in which no part or portion is distinct or distinguishable from adjacent parts."
http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/definitions/contin...
then it is basically saying "a continuum of the individual components and the whole" (which would be another, shorter way of translating it).

Part-whole relationships
These terms are commonly used in talking about dynamic systems where the parts interact with each other and with the whole in a way that is different from a mechanical system. The model is the dialectic between part (organ) and whole (animal) in a living organism. Made famous by Hegel, and this link to a kind of "crib notes" in dialectical thinking may be useful: http://tinyurl.com/23fo99j
