The external bracing reminds me of the SOM proposal and the Russia Tower (also by Foster), though this is still a beautiful design. A three-sided pyramid with round edges and curved sides that make it look like a cone. There are also elements from Tokyo's Millenium Tower vision (also by Foster) in this one. The way the floors are divided into sections.

SOM's proposal
