The aim of the paper is to verify the hypothesis that 'Deep Contextualism can be applied to architecture,' developed through Stephan Pepper's Contextualism. This hypothesis is verified by Peter Zumthor's architectures. 'Deep Contextualism' has 'the third context' between human and natural context. The third so-called "ready-to-hand" is reactivated according to contingency and creativity in Being, 'Being' is continuously revitalized. It means that quality in 'the third context, or a sense of ready-to-hand is creatively and unceasingly transformed into a new texture by creativity and contingency in Being. Also Zumthor and Heidegger agrees to a sense of ready-to-hand. Through creativity and contingency in Being his architecture widens and deepens. Zumthor's atmosphere is world 4, and his architecture is world 3 which is an embodiment of world 4 or his air.
