Beyond the Skyline: Q&A with Mohammed Lawal

Growing up in north Minneapolis, Mohammed Lawal didn’t exactly dream of working in the design profession. He didn’t know any architects. However, he had a knack for drawing, and that led to a long and successful career as a licensed architect. “We moved to Nigeria in 1976, and my father thought I should choose a vocation that supports my art,” Lawal said. “So I thought architecture sounded pretty good. I really hadn’t met an architect, so I kind of fell into it that way.” In his role as an architect, and as co-founder and principal of LSE Architects in Minneapolis, Lawal has worked on everything from barbershops to a $1 billion football stadium. Lawal’s career has taken him to jobs as far away as Indonesia, but he has never forgotten his Minneapolis roots. LSE Architects has established a home base in north Minneapolis, just a couple of blocks from Lawal’s childhood home. In this following interview, Lawal talks about his journey in the architecture profession, some past and current projects, and more.
