there's a photo of a model of it in one of the old books i have, along with harry weese's 2,500' proposal for a chicago world trade center that's even cooler. if i remember the SOM plan correctly, graham said it would be based on the sears use of bundled tubes, but this tower would have 15 of them, instead of 9, and they would go in a 7-5-3- sequence with the 3 setbacks in the same sequence and the 7 tube section rising to the full 2,300' height, so it looks like your render is mostly right, though i'm not sure what the lower level bustle seen on the west side of it is.
