Something like that would be incredible.
IMO, the greatest style of supertall tower would be International Style, which was mainly throughout the 70's. We have one in the Bank of America tower on 6th, but iconic towers in that style were/are the old WTC, the Sears (Willis) Tower in Chicago, and the John Hancock Building in Chicago.
Sadly though, I'm not sure there's any plans for a building like that in any city. Realistically, I think the best two options for what could actually be built here are something like the earlier renderings of Hudson's Site in Detroit (pic below) or the One Chicago tower under construction (pic also below).
