The article presents a theoretical analysis of how the social architectures of media environments influence the development of personal and managerial potential among media project participants. The study is grounded in a conceptual synthesis of research on personal potential, the sociology of management, media production, and platform governance. Personal potential is understood as a dynamic system of resources whose actualization depends on the nature of activity and available environmental opportunities; managerial potential is defined as a combination of personal and professional resources and a readiness to undertake and implement managerial tasks. The article distinguishes between activity-project and object-analytical uses of the concept of social architecture. A theoretical model of the social architecture of a media environment is proposed, comprising institutional, spatial-organizational, normative-semiotic, and digital components connected by cross-cutting communication mechanisms. Ideal types are identified: architectures supporting development, providing selective access to opportunities, reproducing the rhetoric of development without real mechanisms, or leading to resource depletion. The model is intended for subsequent operationalization and empirical testing.
