Design learning in architecture schools still faces challenges in producing design works that are not only visual in nature but are also able to meet real functional spatial requirements. Conventional learning processes are also not optimal in providing interactive and real-time design simulations and evaluations, resulting in less effective design outcomes. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of inclusive learning methods based on digital simulation in improving the quality of auditorium design and to evaluate the accuracy and inclusiveness of students’ design outcomes. This study employed an experimental research method with a comparative design between conventional learning methods and modern learning methods using simulation software. The research subjects as well as the trial subjects consisted of ten students in architectural design learning. Data were collected through observation, documentation, design simulation, and assessment of design outcomes using observation sheets, AutoCad Software, and Ease Focus Software as research instruments. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive comparative analysis to compare the quality of design outcomes based on sound distribution equality and learning inclusiveness. The results showed that modern simulation-based learning methods were able to produce auditorium designs that were more accurate, interactive, and functional than conventional methods. The study concludes that the integration of simulation technology is effective for architectural design learning. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of utilizing digital technology to support design learning based on real-world needs.
