Rationale
After the name (and location), the architect is probably the most important bit of historical information that can be added about a building.
Suggested Usage
In most cases, the 'architect' will be either the name of the man or woman who was the architect (designer) of the exterior of the building (eg Frank Lloyd Wright) or will be the name of the firm of architects who did the same job (eg Foster + Partners). Both of these are fairly straightforward.
Edge cases would be where there are two named architects who worked together on the project (but who aren't partners in the sense of being business partners in the same firm). In these instances, we can follow the pattern of separating the two names in the value with a semi-colon (;).
Use case
Whilst I don't expect any of the default maps ever to render the architect names, the names would have good value in an interactive map, where it might be possible to search for buildings by architect's names.

- I oppose this proposal. because there is no interest in this tag. Not even the requestor has added a reasonable number of architect tags to the map after I mentioned that on the talk page(<10!). --Lulu-Ann 16:52, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
- I approve this proposal. -- What is the problem with a tag used only 10 times ? I't not yet approved ! I don't see problem in the concept, and probably won't be used much, but I don't see problems in approving it for those who wants to tag a cathedral architect Sletuffe 15:29, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
