Corbett Marshall Lyon (born 13 August 1955)[1] is an Australian architect, art patron and academic who lives and works in Melbourne. He is a founding director of Melbourne architectural firm Lyons. With partners Carey Lyon, Cameron Lyon (dec.), Neil Appleton, Adrian Stanic and James Wilson he has designed many award-winning institutional and public buildings in Australia.

Lyon is one of Australia's leading collectors and patrons of Australian contemporary art[2] and since 1990 has developed the Lyon Collection with his wife Yueji. In 2003–2008 he designed and built the Lyon Housemuseum, a hybrid residence and art museum, which displays the Lyon Collection and makes it available for public viewing.[3]

Lyon is a professorial fellow and visiting professor in design at the University of Melbourne where he teaches and researches in the Melbourne School of Design. In 2016 he was awarded a Doctor of Architecture (honoris causa) by the University.

Family and education

Lyon was born in Melbourne to architect Ronald ('Tiger') Lyon [4] and Marietta Perrott (interior designer).

He entered an extended family of architects which included his maternal grandfather, Leslie M Perrott Snr and two uncles, Leslie M Perrott Jnr and Eric Lyon. In Lyon's own generation all three of his brothers, Cameron, Carey and Hamish became practicing architects. Lyon's two daughters Carlin and Jaqlin are currently studying architecture at the University of Melbourne.

Lyon attended Brighton Grammar School from 1961 and graduated Dux in 1973.

He studied architecture at the University of Melbourne and graduated in 1979. 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.

During his studies he worked part-time in the Philadelphia offices of architects Venturi, Scott Brown and Associates and following his graduation in 1980 worked full time in the firm's New York office.

In 2018 he completed a PhD at RMIT University, Melbourne.

Architecture

In 1981 Lyon returned to Australia and established architectural firm Lyon + Lyon with brother Cameron. The firm designed institutional, commercial and government buildings including the Butterfly House at the Melbourne Zoological Gardens and a commemorative arch in Melbourne celebrating Victoria's 1984 sesquicentenary. The brothers' work was exhibited at the XIIe Biennale de Paris in 1982.

In 1996 Lyon established architectural practice Lyons Architects with brother Carey Lyon. Cameron Lyon joined the practice in 1998 as a director and worked in the firm until his death in 2018. The firm currently has five directors which include Neil Appleton, Adrian Stanic and James Wilson. The firm designs large scale institutional, commercial and cultural projects and has won many national and international design awards.

In 2000 Lyons represented Australia as the country's sole representative at the 7th International Architecture Biennale in Venice.[5]

Contemporary art

Lyon is one of Australia's leading collectors and patrons of contemporary art. Since 1990 he has developed the Lyon Collection with his wife Yueji. The collection comprises over 350 artworks, including paintings, sculpture, installation works, photography and video art. More than 50 Australian artists are currently represented in the Collection.

Between 2003 and 2005 he designed the Lyon Housemuseum,[13] 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.[14] The Housemuseum sponsors an annual series of lectures and talks on art, architecture, art history and museology. The annual Lyon Housemuseum Lecture is published in the form of a small book.

In 2012 Lyon and his wife established the Lyon Foundation to provide a permanent future home for the Lyon Collection.

The Foundation has constructed a new public art museum, also design by Lyon, on a site adjacent to the Housemuseum. The new museum opened in March 2019.

Lyon is a Trustee of the National Gallery of Victoria and a member of the International Council of Museums.
