This a a very interesting site on design patterns from a UI perspective. The patterns listed are not "MVC" type patterns in the traditional programming sense. Instead you will find patterns like "Extras On Demand" which is described as:
There's too much stuff on the page, but some of it isn't very important. You'd rather have a simpler UI, but you have to put all this content somewhere.
Each pattern has a Use When, Why, and How section that describes it. All told there are over 40 patterns described in detail. None of them are patterns that haven't been seen before. However, it is nice to have them all in one place. This is a good site to checkout when trying to decide just how to design that complicated UI.
