Stephen Drew speaks with Adonis Zachariades from Renovi.io about architecture NFTs, blockchain, Web3, tokenomics, metaverse competitions and what a digital marketplace could mean for architects, designers and end users.
Show Notes
Architecture NFTs are easy to dismiss as hype, but the more useful question is whether digital ownership, virtual land and design marketplaces create practical opportunities for designers.
Stephen Drew speaks with Adonis Zachariades from Renovi.io about architecture NFTs, blockchain, Web3, tokenomics, metaverse competitions and what a digital marketplace could mean for architects, designers and end users.

Hello! I’m Stephen Drew, Founder of the Architecture Social—an online community and resource hub dedicated to helping professionals in Architecture, Design, Development, and Real Estate advance their careers.

What is Architecture Social?
It is hard to get a job in architecture. We exist to help you get there. Hosted by Stephen Drew, Architecture Social is the unfiltered guide to the UK Built Environment. We decode the realities of the industry, provide actionable cheat codes for your career, and bridge the communication gap between the drafting board and the boardroom.
Whether you are a Part I assistant trying to survive your first role, a Part III architect managing complex procurement, or a Practice Director fighting tight margins and adapting to the Building Safety Act, this podcast is your central node of intelligence. We strip away the aesthetic gatekeeping and toxic positivity to talk about the actual mechanics of the business.
Expect honest conversations about salary realities, portfolio strategies, hiring economics, and the true experiences of the people actively shaping the profession.
No fluff, just the reality of practice.
