Actually I think you doom the world more (is that kind of a paradox? anyway...) by killing the Architect than by sparing him.
By killing him, not only did you just destroy the one Darkspawn willing to at least try and coexist with the rest of the world, you failed at finishing the job. The Architect had several Disciples who escaped you, and now you've just given them incentive to join the next Archdemons against you and using the knowledge of the Architect against you. It would go against everything the Architect stood for, but given their new gained intellegence, I bet the Disciples also just developed a taste for vengeance.
Based on what do you claim that he is trying to coexist with the rest of the world? All he claims to want is to awaken his darkspawn and free them from the call of the Old Gods. And even that is just the word of a Darkspawn who has butchered innocent people and never to this point done anything good for any non-Darkspawn in his life. Furthermore, there are only two Archdemons left, and the previous five have been defeated, so I would hardly consider the world "doomed" by them. In fact, as long as someone like the Arcitect doesn't come along and radically change the equation, it seems clear that the Darkspawn are eventually doomed to defeat and probable exstinction, as they should be.

HUmans are like a virus..... So whats your point? That once we are done with the Darkspawn we should start killing ourselves?
Humans are not, in any way, "like a virus." His point is clear to anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of biology. Humans, along with all other forms of life, can reproduce with other members of their species. Viruses, and Darkspawn in Dragon Age, require a host to take over and destroy for them to reproduce. In theory, all normal forms of life, even bacteria, could coexist in the world without harming each other, and in practice this could be achievable to a certain extant.
Viruses, and Darkspawn, could never do this, as they inevitably destroy other life forms to simply reproduce. Any talk of coexisting with Darkspawn is absurd, unless there were a long line of people who are tired of moving and want to grow some tenticles and breasts and become volunteer broodmothers.
The key distinction here is not intellegence, it is the basic capability to exist without destroying others who are also seeking only to exist. In game, humans, elves, dwarves, etc all have that ability, whereas Darkspawn, like a virus, do not. It's no more immoral to destroy darkspawn then it is for your immune system to defend your body from invaders.
