I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'building' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'i'd fail ice melted' is the wordplay.
'melted' indicates an anagram.
'id'+'fail'+'ice'='idfailice'
'idfailice' with letters rearranged gives 'EDIFICIAL'.

'from' is the link.
