    Hello Mr.Stelmach.
    I think your research list should focus on built projects instead of proposals (you have 4!). You will have more information to support your research and your project.

    See:
    Champalimaud Foundation (your homework will be finding other 3 built projects) ;-).

    Hi Maciej,
    I concur with Eugenio's suggestion.
    Also, try looking at the Weizmann Institute's campus here:

    it will give a perspective on the impact and interaction of science and research educational facilities.

    As of now I have 7 examples of which 2 are proposals which I will replace as soon as I find something more appropriate. Thank You for the suggestions, I will make sure to look into them. Any suggestions as to what I could focus on in the campus? I'm grateful for all the feedback.
