What constitutes spatial photographic practice?

From my understanding it includes everything within a space. In my case the proposed project it is Elephant & Castle in London. It could include architecture, people, social realism and street photography. Street photography itself covers a broad spectrum of everyday life - the good, bad, ugly, beautiful and interesting. It asks for engagement with the space and it's communities. Engagement/intervention to me means a 'study of' in photographic terms. Usually photography, especially street ( In my own opinion) means taking a passive stance. Observing the everyday and documenting it, without fully being involved (or 'engaged') with it. However, it does depend on what you are engaging with. People for example does need some form of communication between the photographer and subject, especially as some people do not like having their photograph taken. With regards to architecture, a passive observant aspect is the 'norm'.
