This paper focuses on humanitarian architecture practices in hazard-prone environments. It highlights women's role in slum-upgrading, aided-self-help, incremental-housing and disaster-risk-reduction processes. We present the experiences of the seven shortlisted nominees to the first edition of the Marielle Franco Community-Design Award, which sought to acknowledge the long-lasting activities of professionals working within vulnerable communities. Although the award did not have a gender focus, all the shortlisted nominees were eventually either women architects or women-led architecture offices, mostly engaged with local NGOs assisting dwellers of fragile settlements while building their capacities. We sought to explore the distinctive features of their practices and how these contribute to improve communities' living conditions. Our research relied on a literature review and the comparative analysis of the profile, practice and achievements of the shortlisted nominees. Our study shows that the processes set forth by these professionals are as important as their architectural results. Furthermore, the outcomes of their work extrapolate the physical dimension to embrace long-term social impacts. By following an empathic and immersive approach in their relationship with the concerned people (in particular women), these female architects could plan, design and build in a truly collaborative mode.

本文重点关注易灾环境中的人道建筑实践。它强调了妇女在贫民窟改造，自助自助，住房增建和减少灾害风险过程中的作用。我们向第一届Marielle Franco社区设计奖展示了入围的7名提名者的经历，该奖项旨在表彰在脆弱社区工作的专业人员的长期活动。尽管该奖项没有以性别为重点，但所有入围的候选人最终都是女性建筑师或女性主导的建筑事务所，主要与当地非政府组织合作，协助脆弱住区的居民建设自己的能力。我们试图探索他们的做法的独特特征，以及这些特征如何有助于改善社区的生活条件。我们的研究依靠文献回顾和对入围候选人的概况，实践和成就的比较分析。我们的研究表明，这些专业人员提出的过程与他们的体系结构结果同样重要。此外，他们的工作成果可以推断出物理方面，以涵盖长期的社会影响。通过在与相关人员（尤其是女性）的关系中采用同理心和沉浸式的方法，这些女性建筑师可以以真正的协作模式进行规划，设计和建造。他们的工作成果可以推断出物理方面，以涵盖长期的社会影响。通过在与相关人员（尤其是女性）的关系中采用同理心和沉浸式的方法，这些女性建筑师可以以真正的协作模式进行规划，设计和建造。他们的工作成果可以推断出物理方面，以涵盖长期的社会影响。通过在与相关人员（尤其是女性）的关系中采用同理心和沉浸式的方法，这些女性建筑师可以以真正的协作模式进行规划，设计和建造。
