Architect Web Site Designs That Break the Mould

If you take a look of alot of the main architect web sites, many of them are pretty similar in layout - top bar navigation, big rotating image area (normally using Flash or Javascript libraries).  I guess its an easy layout to do - the big image shows off the architects work in good resolution, and everyone can understand a top bar nav throughout the site.  Below however are a few architect web designs from around the world that have broken from this mould.  In the world of architecture there is need to stand out from the crowd, to create that ground breaking building or work.  In web terms, some of the effects are pretty zany - Bjark Ingels Group with its multicoloured icons, Lorcan O'Herlihy with its periodic table, and some are somewhat difficult to navigate and find the information you want.  Here they are in all their glory for you to decide as to whether they work.
