Digital Blue Foam

A collage of five isometric building illustrations on circular green islands showcases a fusion of architectural creativity, inspired by Graphisofts BIMx. Each scene flaunts a gradient backdrop with pink, yellow, or green hues dotted with clouds and sun. Buildings vary in shape, featuring triangles and rectangles.
A blue square background showcases the white capital letters DBF at its center, seamlessly integrating with BIM and Archicad elements.

About DBF

DBF is the most user-friendly tool to design buildings, mine contextual information, and collaborate online. It helps building designers realize better projects, faster, with the power of flexible and detailed generative design, directly in the browser.

Flexible and detailed generative design

Whether you are working on a large or a small scale project DBF’s flexible and detailed generative design features design generator allows you to iterate quickly through multiple design solutions to meet your project goals. Options can be saved, compared, and tweaked, using DBF’s push-pull edit mode.

Location-based urban insights

DBF Urban Insights helps you mining location-based data from a variety of online sources: social media, maps, weather stations, and much more. The system processes and visualizes the collected data, and computes an overall neighbourhood score. The platform also suggests baseline criteria for a new development, such as the ideal size, tenancy, and typology. The metrics developed were informed by a variety of academic studies.

A digital map, enhanced with Archicad capabilities, displays various colored dots representing data points across a city landscape. Clickable icons for sharing, searching, and adjusting settings overlay the design. A river weaves through the map, with streets clearly marked throughout.
Discover the Kansai region in Japan with this interactive 3D map, featuring stunning data visualizations using multicolored vertical bars. Utilize CAD-inspired icons for layers and navigation as you explore cities like Osaka and Kyoto. Perfect for Graphisofts BIMx aficionados!.
Real-time environmental analysis

DBF environmental analysis helps you run location-specific analysis, generate reports, and compare metrics at the click of a button. With this information, users can iterate and modify their project massing study to respond best to the local environment.

Archicad Link via DBF Hub

DBF Hub is a desktop application to sync designs developed in DBF’s web-based platform, instantly to Archicad as native elements.
