Personally I don't see 'vernacular' design as being the opposite of 'serious' design. Vernacular design is essential to counter the global homogenised conclusion to rigorous design that would hope to impose a restrictive set of rules without exception, across the board.
Good, well crafted vernacular style solutions are as important as good, well crafted 'serious' (modernist, uniform, communication and legibility led) design solutions. Serious design needs rich localised vernacular grit in the mix to stop everything becoming a single bland paste of efficient but monotonous visual slurry. The world is not a modern european international airport.
