Task 1 (10 Marks)
Generate a list of five constraints that apply to your project theme. The constraints must be

Identify all of the relevant functions of your design project. This includes the basic and
secondary functions. When listing the secondary functions, specify whether they are required or
unwanted and explain your answer.
Task 3 (30 Marks)
Construct each of the following and explain the results:
• A Pairwise Comparison Chart to rank the goals of your design project.
• A Morphological Chart to illustrate the design space for your design project.
• A Numerical Evaluation Matrix to evaluate the various design options for your design project.
