From cars made out of living materials to preparing the human body for space travel, the exhibition at designjunction will explore a range of innovative concepts about how design and technology could transform the way we travel.
"The Dezeen and MINI Frontiers exhibition will showcase radical ideas for how we might get around in future," says Dezeen editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs in the introductory movie above.

We'll be following all six designers as they develop their ideas over the coming months in the run-up to the exhibition. Look out for our first movie with Keiichi Matsuda tomorrow, in which he explains how augmented reality could transform the way we navigate urban environments.
The Dezeen and MINI Frontiers exhibition will take place at designjunction during London Design Festival from 17 to 20 September 2014.
