How about wider FOV so that you can show more of the model and make it look more dynamic?

Maybe lights are intersecting with geometry?

This kind of DOF makes my eyes explode. :O

Generally you can consider it like this:
-less PTS = more passes in given time
-with each new pass each pixel of your image is sampled one time
-more passes = better anti-aliasing on edges, DOF, glossiness, smooth textures

-more PTS = better GI = less passes in given time

It doesn't matter that much if you have lots of time for rendering (for example if you leave it for the whole night) but these values should be tuned carefully if you want good results in shortest possible time.

When you are rendering with DOF, use PT samples 4-8.

Looks very professional!

Jedynie rozmycia na niektórych krawędziach wyglądają dość dziwnie.

This image looks much better than the previous ones. Just remove that pointless gradient frame and it will be ok. :)

About your settings:
You don't need HD cache here, use pt+pt. HD cache is generally useful in indoor scenes. I'd suggest lowering MSI unless you really need this 400. PTS 128 is also an overkill. 64 would be enough or you could even set it lower to have everything anti-aliased smoothly. I also don't think you get much profit from using bucket mode here. I'd stick to progressive and use default values. :)

Everything looks like made of plastic and that glow looks like from some old video game. No offence but I think you should work on your materials and lighting first and then think about post effects like glow or dof.

Where are you from Maru ?

Central Poland.

target audience would probably be people with at least some experience from other renderers

And the goal would be to convince them to use Corona in commercial work rather than other renderers or just point out advantages and disadvantages of Corona, show some innovative workflows, share experience?

Maybe post your material config and some screens from the scene? Try giving thickness to your walls (for example shell modifier).

Guys, just browse the forums. Early version of DR is already implemented.

I think it's a great idea and I would love to show up (I'm not sure if I'm worthy :) ) but it needs more clarification - for example, who is it targeted to? Students? Professionals? Newbies?
About the language - I think it's obvious that if the audience will be Czech-only, the language should be Czech. Otherwise - English only.
How about a paid (symbolic price ;) ) online transmission from there?

All of your renders (including the ones from top of the page) seem to be underexposed.

Archicad

Oh god, we had Archicad classes through one semester. It was such traumatic experience.
