How to tag a building completely ?

I want to add specific details to a building or structure, http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.228902&lon=4.405316&zoom=18&layers=M, besides the name, the material or the operator. Such as the architect / designer or the builder of the object. I did not find a use full tag in the OSM WIKI, any suggestions ? For instance everyone knows the Chrysler Building, but who was the designer ? (Wikipedia) Greetz

Looks like the architect tag has been used for that: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key%3Aarchitect

It seems it is more in use in Europe than elsewhere:
