building:part should be a 'part' of a building .. not the entire 
building .. they are both tagged with building=yes.

One example

https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/996164524/history

has no past history .. so no previous key of building:part.


I'd have no problem with building=elevator_shell, but they are 
building=yes. I am happy to change that too, if acceptable?

I have been using building=silo with man_made=silo (key building for 
rendering the area .. man_made just does a symbol).
