A good place to begin searching is in the Library catalogue, which will help you find books and journal articles on your topic.
Example:
A Library Catalogue search for the keywords: climate control interior found the below book:
Use general or broad keywords to find books all about the location, architect or architectural process in your assignment question.
Try restricting your search to peer reviewed articles. Because peer reviewed articles have been double-checked by academic experts, it's easier to be sure that the words and ideas you're using are of sufficient quality for a university assignment.
Using the same searches you've mapped out earlier, try using some of the key resources for interior architecture (linked below). You'll find the results are different in each database. The picture below is from ScienceDirect.
As a final note, remember how our search topic mentioned case studies? If the place you're looking seems to have a lot of good information, try adding the term case study to your search to see if you can find anything (the article in the picture below is from Proquest).
Not all the information you get from a search will be useful. A successful search will show results relevant to your topic. If your results are not relevant go back and try different keywords in your search.
To evaluate whether your source is of sufficient quality use the C.C.O.W. Test. Click on the letters of the acronym to learn more:
