MEDITERRANEAN AWARD SPECIAL EDITION A free and upright woman, Hasna comes from the South of the Algerian Sahara. Daughter of a family of gnawi musicians, she performs pop music mixed with her own compositions, accompanied by electric or classic guitar or by guembri. Her music expresses different artistic and spiritual forms and, at the same time, in a play of background and mutual protagonism, it allows different individual expressions and the synergy of an expert choral quality, producing different rhythms and tunes, where the aim of a common concert is only possible thanks to the motivation of a production where the ensemble is not given by a succession of reciprocally tolerant pieces.

MEDITERRANEAN AWARD FOR ARCHITECTURE An architect who, with his talent, was able to create structures based on the wisdom of ancient traditions in building constructions. He created living spaces being at once primitive and complex, bridging archaic memory and future, spaces in which the simplicity of the techniques becomes versatility of execution, simplicity and rigour in the use of materials. Architectures of life and for life, which respect the natural context and satisfy the primary needs of serenity and harmony, without resorting either to an excess of technology or to obsolete technologies. With Fabrizio Caròla, Tèchne search for liberty leads to discover the knowledge embodied in building techniques of pre-modern tradition and opens a rich path of discovery to the contemporary Mediterranean creativity.
