ČASTNI ČLAN ZAPS / Honorary Member of zapsdr. Viktor PustPo podelitvi častnega članstva številnim, ki smo bili iz najrazličnejšihrazlogov deležni te časti, menim, da je res že čas, da bi to – za mnogesimbolično – odlikovanje podelili možu, ki ima za današnjo raven organiziranostistrok, ki se ukvarjajo z urejanjem prostora, gotovo največzaslug. Vsi vemo, za koga gre, čeprav bo morda kdo to le stežka priznal,ob tem, ko sem sodeloval pri prizadevanjih za strokovno zbornico oddavnih prvih začetkov, pa sem prepričan, da brez dr. Viktorja Pusta danesne dosegli, kar smo.Having conferred honorary membership on many of us who have received thishonour, I believe it is time we conferred this – to many particularly symbolic –award on the man who deserves most credit for the level of organization of themany professions involved in spatial planning. We all know who I am talkingabout. It may be difficult for some to acknowledge this, but I took part in thepursuit of building a professional chamber myself, from its very inceptionmany years ago, and I am convinced that we would not be where we are todaywithout Dr. Viktor Pust.Kdo med nami bi bil – ali bolje je tedaj bil – pripravljen popolnoma vsesvoje strokovno delovanje v vlogi arhitekta – projektanta zamenjati zafunkcijo predsednika matične sekcije arhitektov, ki pred trinajstimi letini obetala posebne prihodnosti, kaj šele, da bi od nje lahko pričakovaldostojen zaslužek? Zanesljivo pa si lahko predvideval množico zapletov,nerazumevanja, nasprotovanj, utrujajočih prepričevanj, bolj ali manjodkritih sporov na vseh straneh in komaj kaj upanja na uspeh. Le povsemzanesenjaški idealist je lahko dolge ure teden za tednom presedel v vladnipalači pri redigiranju zakonov o gradnji objektov, ki so jih nato v skupščinirazni lobiji izmaličili do neprepoznavnosti (to vem, ker sva tam sedeladrug ob drugem) in le še bolj zagnan trmoglavec je lahko v naslednjih letihpreživel vse do noči in naslednje noči trajajoče upravne odbore IZS in priWho of us would be willing – or better, would have been willing at the time– to give up his/her entire professional career as an architect-designer for thepost of president of the central section of architects, one which did not holdany promise of any special opportunities, those thirteen years ago – let alonedecent earnings? One thing you could be sure of, however, were any number ofcomplications, lack of understanding, antagonism, tedious arguments, more orless open conflict on all sides, and very little hope of success. Only a completely“crazy” idealist would sit long hours week after week in the government palacerevising facility construction acts that were later only to be twisted and distortedby different lobbies in the Assembly to the degree that they were no longerrecognizable (which I well know because we sat there side by side); and only aneven more stubborn fellow was able to spend so many nights in the years that28
