Corbett Marshall Lyon (born 13 August 1955)[1] is an Australian architect, art patron and academic who lives and works in Melbourne.
In 2019 Lyon's two daughters Carlin and Jaqlin were studying architecture at the University of Melbourne, heading up the fourth generation.
Lyon won an ITT International Fellowship to study in the US where he undertook a one-year Master of Architecture program at the University of Pennsylvania.
He studied under architects Steven Izenour and Aldo van Eyck, futurist Buckminster Fuller and urban planner Edmund Bacon.
The collection comprises over 350 artworks, including paintings, sculptures, installation works, photography and video art.
Between 2003 and 2005 he designed the Lyon Housemuseum,[14] a hybrid residence and art museum which opened to the public in 2009.
The Housemuseum offers pre-booked public tours and school visits on designated days each year.
The Foundation has constructed a new public art museum, also designed by Lyon, on a site adjacent to the Housemuseum.
