Summary: SCP-064 is an earthenware brick composed of silicon oxides and organic matter. Besides its anomalies, 064 is visibly identical to other construction bricks. When laid on a flat expanse of soft earth, 064 will begin to multiply, creating bricks similar to itself, though not possessing 064's anomalous properties. 064 uses the minerals in its immediate vicinity to create each new brick. The fastest a brick has been made is about 70 minutes. Once 064 is removed from the resulting structure, the building will decay at the same rate. 064 can always be found at the bottom level of the northernmost wall. The buildings produced by 064 are complex, freestanding, and stable.

Usefulness: Kind of useful, if you want to live in a building made by a living brick. Unfortunately, 064 can only create one structure at a time, so providing housing for too many people isn't possible.

Against 682: These bricks may be stable, but if 682 were to accidentally move 064, or actively locate it and remove it, the structure would collapse. I don't think the bricks are stronger than its regular container anyway.
