Digital Blue Foam Overview

Digital Blue Foam (DBF) is a browser-based software platform that helps urban planners, developers, architects and government agencies evaluate site and city-scale design options using AI-driven generative design and spatial analytics. The platform ingests spatial and GIS data — climate, urban context, program requirements and existing networks — and generates ranked massing and urban design scenarios backed by an evidence chain that shows why each option scored the way it did. It supports facility siting use cases such as data centres, EV plants and hospitals, alongside conventional building massing and urban planning work, and outputs are BIM-ready for downstream use. DBF runs entirely in the browser (optimized for Chrome, with support for Edge, Safari and Firefox) rather than as a desktop or server install, so no dedicated OS or specialized hardware is required for most projects, with a desktop machine recommended for large urban-scale work. Founded in 2019 in Singapore by Camiel Weijenberg and Sayjel Vijay Patel, the company has delivered live deployments for organizations including Dubai Municipality, MODON and Jacobs.
