    The present-day architecture of the present era represents the emergence of ethical issues arisingfrom the ideas of the " Modern individual-oriented" and "Pos tmodern being oriented", such as the considerationof personal interes ts and the reduction of human relations. Therefore, the exis tence of such shortcomings requiresthe identification of an architecture that considers the individual and social morality of today's society based ontranscendental values, such as Emmanuel Levinas' "attention to the other" philosophy, agains t the above ideas. Theaim is to identify those architectural possibilities that, by providing the conditions for creating the moral relationsconsidered in Levinas philosophy, resis t some of the shortcomings of the ethical issues of modern and pos tmodernschools. In this research, Levinas' thoughts with Modern and Pos tmodern schools are discursive analysis throughthree dimensions of humanism, human rights, and ethics, as three points of reliance and position in them. Then,in the framework of these three criteria, modern and pos tmodern thoughts are traced in between the architecturalexpressions and by comparing these traces of the concepts with key concepts in Levinas' thought, also by utilizingthe sources of visual literacy and body theoretical foundations, identifies the architectural appearance of it.The result of the research shows that the architectural displays of Levinas' philosophy such as "impromptu","centricity", "Attention to Family Scale" and "Kush" can be considered as possibilities other than the possibilitiesof modern and pos tmodern architecture, to improve some of the shortcomings in highlighting transcendental moralvalues.
