Current architectural space design education increasingly emphasizes the integration of traditional culture and innovative transformation, and promotes the reproduction of cultural values in the education system. At the same time, facing the complex employment environment and educational restructuring, institutions of higher education urgently need to build a scientific evaluation system and talent cultivation simulation model to realize the two-way synergistic development of cultural heritage and modern education. Taking architectural space design education as an entry point, this study proposes a combined empowerment method integrating AHP and CRITIC to construct a three-level talent cultivation evaluation index system covering resources, mechanisms and performance. At the subjective level, expert scoring and consistency test are carried out by applying the hierarchical analysis method (AHP), and the weight of the indicator “library resources” is extracted to reach 2.352. At the objective level, the standard deviation and correlation coefficient introduced by the CRITIC analysis method emphasize that the information content of the indicator “electronic database resources” is 145.851, which corresponds to a weight of 5.33%. Finally, the results of the two methods are combined by average weighting to derive the combined weights, and system dynamics is introduced to construct a simulation model to simulate the trend of talent output and innovation ability under different educational input conditions. The simulation experiment found that students’ innovation ability showed faster exponential growth after the introduction of external knowledge sources. The results show that composite empowerment and dynamic modeling can effectively improve the scientific decision-making and cultivation efficiency of architectural space design education.
