'detailed part' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with communicating as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'of brutalist edifice' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'LISTED' is hidden within 'brutalist edifice'.

Can you help me to learn more?
