We are studying how stellar masses assemble through cosmic time since the Universe had only 30% of its present age. We are conducting a census of galaxies which covers the end of the most active star-forming phase, using a mass-limited sample of approximately 5,000 objects selected from the VIMOS VLT Deep Survey (VVDS) in the redshift range 0.45 < z < 1.3. With a criterion based on the direct spectral measurement of the 4000Å Balmer break, Dn(4000), we have classified our sample in spectroscopically early and late-type galaxies. The trends existing between stellar mass, spectroscopic classification, and star formation activity are clearly shown in our analysis.
