We've all seen them, those over-designed, all-too-snazzy architect websites that freeze your browser. Or in which you can't find their addresses because too many things move around, slip and slide, expand and contract, in a "cool" fashion.
What are your nominees for the most annoying architect websites?
Mine are Winka Dubbeldam / Archi-tectonics and Morphosis. Winka's website, she's had for a while, so at least it is a familiar annoying website. Just try to read through Thom Mayne's bio on his website using Firefox, I dare you.
Greg Lynn's website also deserves some consideration in this competition, but it is helped by the lack of actual work. There isn't much real work or information you might want, so it is less confusing. And he has those pretty flower animations.
Maybe this competition should be divided into two categories: looks and content, or the swimsuit competition and the essay portion of the exam. How horrible all the text on architects' websites is! And they all say the same thing! Some originality, please.
Other nominees?

One of my favorite (wonderfully pleasing) under-designed architecture websites:
thelivingnewyork.com
Zaha Hadid's website is pretty terrible as well.
