He received the American Academy of Arts & Letters Architecture Award and was awarded a fellowship from the United States Artists. Lynn serves on the Board of Trustees of the Canadian Centre for Architecture and has served on the corporate boards of technology companies including Curbside, Gehry Technologies, Formant, and Matter Machine.
