As far as I understand the relation of the site could be simply added to the "architect" relation. When an architect has more than 1000 Buildings there also can be multiple relations for one architect (perhaps depending on the years the buildings are created).
But in spite of this I do not know if this type of relation is discouraged because it it looks like a category as mentioned here <http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2009-February/034206.html>.
