Spatially- and spectrally-resolved studies have provided new and unique insights into the physical and dynamical processes that drive the star formation and mass assembly of galaxies since as early as a few billion years after the Big Bang. I will present key results from near-IR integral field spectroscopic studies of redshift x ~ 1 1 – 3 galaxies (with instruments such as SINFONI and KMOS at the VLT ) and highlight synergies with observations at other wavelengths (notably with HST , IRAM and Herschel). I will discuss implications on the nature, star formation and gas properties, feedback mechanisms, and life cycle of galaxies at the heyday of massive galaxy formation.
