  When placing a post in my “architecture” category, do I need also to tag the post with an “architecture” tag to make it easily searchable?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  In my opinion tags are personal use, so that u can directly go tags to find a post on a particular topic. Categories covers wide range of topics while tags are very specific. Tags have no SEO benefit, instead WP creates a page for every tag and all have same content, so use tags only if u genuinely need.
