reshape
Give new form
Reshape means to give new form or structure to something.
You reshape clay with your hands, reshape a garment by altering its cut, or reshape an organization by changing how it operates.
The word implies the thing already had a shape that's being modified: The economic crisis reshaped the political landscape.
In computing, reshape changes how data is arranged without altering its content.
