remaking
Building it again
Remaking is the act of making something again or anew.
Films get remade for modern audiences; lives get remade after upheaval.
The word implies significant reconstruction rather than minor revision: The remaking of the city's waterfront took decades.
A remaking suggests transformation—the new version may differ substantially from the original.
