you're probably more than 10 years late with that and there had been many to suggest great new database schemata, great to evaluate tagging methods and what not. The success of OSM is (in part) based on the concept of "the simplest thing that could possibly work". S3DB building is easy and worked for several years now. And for this one theoretical case where you wouldn't be able to tag a building without relation the S3DB site even allows to use relations (although I've yet to see a building tagged in all those years where the relation is really necessary and if there is, it probably shouldn't be in OSM but in an external model repository). If you can't live without relations, use them. But please let everyone else go without and accept that this had been discussed in length in the past. Relations just make things worse. Mappers even screw up simple multipolygons all the time and that's actually something where relations make sense in the absence of an area type.
