The establishment, location and dissemination of Architecture courses and professional field constitution in Brazil are historically related to the institutional demands and the modernizing governmental projects, the urbanization phenomenon and the growth of middle class, especially after Second World War. This phenomenon presents some peculiarities in Rio Grande do Sul State, placed first in proportion of Architecture Schools and Architects among Brazilian states. The number of graduated architects has experienced two periods of great increase, simultaneously with two different introduction moments of new schools, being the second one in current development. The adjustment between this number and the reality of the market demand is inquired, showing that the historical series of new registrations within CREA-RS, far from settling doubts, indicates new investigation paths about the relations between graduation and professional practice.
