Old ideas can sometimes use new buildings. New ideas must come from old buildings.
(Jane Jacobs - "The Death and Life of Great American Cities")
recycling: (from the Greek "kyklos", a circle), a series of processes by which products and raw materials are recovered and reused in lieu of disposal as solid or liquid wastes
