recreate
Build it anew
To recreate is to create something again or anew—to reproduce, reconstruct, or reenact: Historians tried to recreate the battle scene, She recreated her grandmother's recipe from memory.
The word also means to refresh oneself through leisure or play, though this sense is less common and usually appears as recreation or recreational: They recreated in the park after work.
