Nice site! Very interesting as I am working on my own architecture site.
I agree with Tony. I would use the zoom effect just once on the intro page. After that it really does not add much impact.

You mean the zooming effect on this page

or the left to right movement on all the other pages.
I like just that little bit of movement otherwise it looks flat.
I did do this version in flash I prefer it makes the image look more dynamic and it builds up a bit like a building being constructed, dam those architects

I like colors, grid and general concept, but flash driven stripe returns to left-most position without clear reason for me (it’s a bug i think, it does so sometimes only).
Also saturation shift for active slide is too slight imo. And it’s blue label seems to be too small (comparing to size of colorful background).
Maybe it should appear somewhere closer to bottom of the slide?
Now it’s little unclear whether those pictures are just illustrations, or clickable links.
Russian (and Chinese) breadcrumb looks a bit odd, with "home page" in english, but on other hand it indicates that there is no "russian home page". Am I right?
But overall - I like it very much.
yes you are right, the architects that I work for are a weird lot, its design by committee with about 10 people, they choose the labels. I’m working on removing the flash, but the movie does return to the left when you mouse out.

Honestly after 2 or three images we get the idea (about teh zooming) and I find it well eh,... more than a bit distracting. It doesn’t do the (architectual) work justice .
