What is AI Generative Design for Architecture?

It is an advanced design approach powered by artificial intelligence to analyze constraints, spatial data, and project goals so you can generate optimized architectural solutions. With DBF, you can create multiple design iterations and flesh out the initial concept into high-fidelity 3D designs that align with your project’s goal.

Immersion with 3D Geospatial Analytics

Flat maps and charts are outdated. Say hello to a more realistic and intuitive 3D models of cities, landscapes, or buildings with 3D immersion of DBF’s spatial visual analytics.

Features of DBF’s Sustainable Building Technology

IFC Export / Import

Export your designs in IFC format and connect to Archicad, Revit, and other BIM generative designs.

Photorealistic 3D Context

Get a 3D photorealistic contextual dataset for your project, including neighboring buildings, landscape elements, streets, and the natural surroundings of the city. This dataset delivers a comprehensive and lifelike representation of your project's environment.

Drag and Drop Inputs and Constraints

Incorporate volumetric constraints by drag and drop tool 3D files (OBJ, FBX). This functionality allows you to create buildings that not only adhere to local regulations but also respond to volumetric restrictions concerning building heights, setbacks, separation, and site coverage.

Building, Area, and Program Design Statistics

Receive real-time feedback on critical metrics and building statistics, including site coverage, GFA (Gross Floor Area), FAR (Floor Area Ratio), NFA (Net Floor Area), program schedule, and comprehensive area breakdowns.

Preset Typologies

Get an extensive catalog of building typologies that can be instantly generated on any development site, and explore and evaluate potential building designs for your projects.

Parametric Typology Editing

Adjust design parameters for various building typologies to visually fine-tune design elements by modifying associated parameters, and generate new design solutions reflecting these adjustments. The design updates real-time changes to ensure an efficient and adaptable design process.

3D Editing

Edit and shape building geometry easily with DBF’s generative AI design tool for architecture. The user-friendly interface comes with intuitive controls, real-time feedback, and geometry control options for precise and creative editing.

2D Editing

Define and manage essential design elements, including project site details and constraints with DBF’s 2D editing tools using generative AI design. It helps you adjust building footprints to adhere to building regulation requirements like setbacks and minimum planning dimensions, ensuring compliance and precision in your designs.

Generate Facade

Browse and apply various facade options to their designs, select from a list of predefined facades, and apply them either to the entire design or to specific blocks where necessary. It offers the flexibility to create and apply custom facade textures to create a unique and personalized architectural aesthetic.

Generate Units

Tackle the challenge of determining the ideal number of apartments, offices, or keys that can be accommodated within a design by simply providing the desired unit size and minimum unit dimensions. This enables you to enhance architectural quality and validate the feasibility of the design.

Generate Massing

Expedite your design process by selecting from a list of default typologies, serving as a foundation for design generation. It allows you to explore design variations while automatically adapting to any changes in inputs or regulations, ensuring design relevance and compliance.

Procedural Texturing

Visualize textures for better feedback over the environmental analysis.

Expanded Pen Tool

Now create a wider range of subplot possibilities.

Advantages of DBF’s AI Generative Design Tool

Massing and Site Planning

If you want to design a high-rise building in a dense urban environment, it’s essential to input site constraints (zoning regulations, setback requirements, solar access), performance goals (daylighting, energy efficiency), and design preferences (building form, material palette). 

With DBF, you can generate multiple massing options with the power of AI.

Material Selection and Fabrication

For using locally sourced materials for sustainable building projects, you need to input material availability, cost, and environmental impact data. 

The AI generative design tool in DBF gives you design options so you can prioritize the use of materials and generate fabrication instructions according to your project’s needs.

Urban Planning and 15-Minute City Development

Today’s modern cities require balanced residency, green spaces, and sustainable infrastructure. Newly growing cities are focusing on the concept of 15-minute city development. 

DBF’s AI generative design tool helps you analyze population density, land use, transportation network, and environmental considerations for creating a sustainable 15-minute city concept.

Frequently
asked questions

Common questions from our prospects.

Open all FAQ
How is generative AI design used in architecture?

Generative AI in architecture simplifies the design process by analyzing constraints automatically including space, materials, and energy efficiency. Architects input parameters like site conditions, building codes, performance targets, and aesthetic preferences. AI uses algorithms to create design variations in space planning, structural optimization, facade design, fabrication instruction, and urban planning.

Is there any AI for architecture design?

Digital Blue Foam (DBF) comes with integrated AI-powered generative design tools for architectures that use machine learning to deliver data-driven results. Other than DBF, there are tools like Autodesk’s Forma (formerly Spacemaker), Rhino’s Grasshopper, and Finch, that offer similar generative AI design tools for architectures.

Can I use AI to design a building?

AI is a powerful design tool that assists architects in generating design options and exploring possibilities for buildings and other projects. It minimizes costs and automates repetitive tasks but doesn’t replace the architect’s expertise and creativity.
